coral questions about lighting ?
how long should I keep the lights on?
when should I turn the LED nite lites?
It depends on what kind of lighting. Metal halides need to be on for at least 6 hours. 7 would be better. T-5 should be on for about 8-10 hours. VHO or other Florescents need to be on for 12 hours. Moon lights can be run opposite the normal light schedule. Try to not turn them on a couple of days a week or 1 week a month.
I am very tired of hearing the light causing algae thing. Algae can not grow without food. The primary food for algae is Phosphorus. Phosphorus comes from tap water and uneaten fish food. It does not come from running the lights to long alone. Poor water quality itself is the cause of algae in a reef tank. In a salt water tank with coral you must light them the appropriate way for the appropriate time, as the zooanthelle in them needs to photosynthesize for them to survive.
