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.

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.
