lunar light cycles..

[jade76]

Im just checking to see what everyone else does or what is protocall for lunar lights....Do you keep them on all night untill the mains come on or do you have a pitch black time period in between??? does anyone out there try to imulate a lunar cycle for the corals as well?


I used to run mine all night but as of late they stay on for 3 hrs after the mains go off, then about 3 hrs of pitch black, then they come on about an hour before the mains do in the morn to help keep the shock down on my livestock.

I use lunar cycle controller like the one I posted earlier last year on this thread. http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/showthread.php?p=77570#post77570">http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/showthread.php?p=77570#post77570</a> I've got it timed to match the moon. When there is a full moon the tank is pretty bright at night and during a new moon you have practially no light. For the price its hard to beat. This is the site I got it from.

I use the Neptune LunarSim which is an excellent piece of equipment if you use an AC unit.
