Suggested timer setting on my Red Sea Max


Hello All,

I have my daylight set to 8 hours a day, is this enough? Not enough?

Here's what I have got for lighting:

2 x 55 watt T5 power compacts (1 watt-liter/4 watt-gallon)
10,000K/Actinic lighting
Electronic ballast
High polish, textured aluminium reflector
Blue LED moonlights
Fan-cooled hood for extended life of electronic components
High transparency, polished lens

Here's the link for my tank so you can see what I have got so far.

Thanks for everyones help.

Increase it to 10 and see how your tank likes it. If they don't like the extra light, they will let you know but I don't think you will see any harm, only good from it.
