I am sure this has been discussed before, but I am going to put my lights on a timer today, and I am curious how much light is really needed for coral health and moderate growth.
My setup is a 55g softie tank with 4x65w (260w) PCs
I am trying to cut my summertime energy costs down, so coral growth can take a break until September, so really what will keep them looking good and alive?
Some ideas I was planning on doing:
5 days at 7 hours and 2 days at 4 hours
7 days at 5 hours
6 days at 7 hours and 1 day off.
Thanks for any positive suggestions.
