I have my fuge come on 30min before my main lights go off and stay on until my main lights come back on. It's a reverse schedule.

What your main light schedule?

Some do 8,10hr by running opposite of main it will help maintain ph, some run 24hr too.
Hope I was clear as mud and not to confusing. Its all ways a test to see what works better for your system and setup.

I do 10 am ramp for 2 hrs so 12pm is full light then 10pm 2 hr ramp down, is that to much?

I also do a reverse light; with 1 hour overlap (both fuge and display lights on simultaneously). No ramping for fuge
