Cheato Lighting Question
Noob wondering how to light Cheato!
I've got a 24g nano, and have a small CPF fixture for one of my rear chambers. I was wondering how much time, and at what time in contrast to my MH lighting I should light the cheato. |

All cheato needs is a small PC light (IMO metal halide would burn it) run 24/7 or reverse cycle to your lights (when your lights come off it comes on and when your lights turn on it turns off).

I have a small CPF light for the cheato, not planning on using the MH.
So, if the MH isn't lighting the cheato, I need to run the CPF 24/7? |

Dont need to.
If you can run it 10 hours during the night when the main tank lights are off. This will help keep the pH from dropping at night |
