Hello all,
I have been a long time saltwater reef/fish enthusiast. Over time I have become complacent and not paid as much time to my tank as I should have. - Over the past 6 months I have completely forgot to review my lighting cycle as its on timers.
Push come to shove I was running my lights almost 18 HOURS a day.
- Happens when you work 2 jobs and are rarely home.
Red slime/alege ..etc
re calibrated the lighting yesterday in hopes to correct the issue.
1st set of Compacts are now
8am - 8pm
2nd set
10am - 6pm
Halids - 400watt 14k
1pm - 5pm
anywho... been a couple days...corals are perking back up as well as seeing a drop in growth.
**********************************
What should I expect now that the lighting cycle has changed?
Should I watch for a water change?
What is your lighting cycle?
