I just upgraded from 2 44" T-8 2 lamp unit, 1 10,000k and 1 actinic 420 (about 100 watts total) to a 72" T5 HO 6 lamp fixture 12 x 39w - 4 actinic adn 8 10,000k (about 475 watt w/led) and I am wondering what the appropriate break in cycle would be since it is soooo much more light. my fish hate it right now and i only left it on for 30 minutes.
this is the cycle i am going to start tomorrow and slowly ramp up every couple days, please chime in..
