No good Night lights? With Pics.

nanO352 · 03/01/2009, 07:59 PM

I was looking through all of the forums yesterday and found that a person on the SPS forum said he had better growth and color from his SPS when he had his night lights off for an unknown time. So I decided why not try this.

The Plan: For the next 2 weeks have my night led's off and see if I experience the same results as this man. I will take pictures daily and add them on to RC. So stay tuned in for updates.

Additional Info: I have not found the same thread I was looking at earlier so if somebody could sight it that would be great. I have heard so people say that Acro's only need so much light at day and with no night LED's on the Sps can rest more.

The Pics:

This is my "Oddball Acropora" I have no idea what it is.

This is my crazy greeen Millipora.

This is my Green birds nest. I'm happy with the colors off of this one. But why not?

I started this last night. So this is technically day one. I hope I experience some good results. That maybe will back up some of these hypothesis'.

What's that orange line? How bright are your night lights?

The orange line is a gorgonian that isn't doing the best. I have a sunpod 150w I use the 6 blue led's at night.
