Light schedules

People with programmable lights:So, what lighting schedules do you all have? Mixed reef with sps, mushrooms and a pair of clowns.


My led light is fully programmable over the phone, I can adjust each led over every half hour.

Cheers

I'm more in line with Mark and use a longer, flatter midday. I do a 5 hour sunrise, 4 hour midday and 6 hour sunset. But the last hour or 2 of sunrise and the first hour or 2 of sunset are still pretty intense (near midday levels). But early sunrise and late sunset are quite low intensity.

My total time is 14 hours, 5 hour sunrise and sunset with a 4 hour mid day. The second part of the sunrise and the first part of the sunset are 3 hours. The steep part of the sunrise and sunset is about 2 hours with the colors starting and ending in 10 minute offsets. Only deep blue goes the full 2 hours, all the others are less. Sequence for on is.

DB, Rb, V, UV, G, R, W

Off is the reverse
