Hey guys,

Just wondering what you use as a day/night cycle. Right now I'm using 830-630 for actinics and 930-530 for daylights.. However I am at work for these hours and am thinking of changing the cycle to start later and end around 9 or 10pm.. Do any of you guys use a later cycle so you can view it when you're home for longer?

I work days and my lights are on from 12:30pm - 12am every day. I'm either at work or sleeping when my lights are off (except for the few hours on the weekend when I'm not sleeping in).

My first actinics come on at 12:00 and last are off at 24:00
Tank is taking indirect sun light in the morning so it is pretty soft start.
