I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. |

I run my MH for 10 hours and instead of actinics I run 50/50 PCs for dawn and dusk. The PCs are run from the seasonal cycle of my Apex so they run for 1- 11/2 hours before and after the MH.

Just wondering... what are you growing in your tank? Have you noticed any slowing of growth with only 5 hours full spectrum?

I have nothing but SPS in my tank. I am running a 6x54w Ati powermodule and am getting great growth a PE. I read somewhere that sometime less is more when it comes to lighting and I have been very pleased with how my tank has responded to it. I will try to find the article.

10am - 22K T5s 1pm - Halides on 8pm - Halides off. 10pm - 22K T5 off. So I guess that's 3 hours dawn and 2 hours dusk, 7 hours day grow. K. |
