    I run Kessil's A360 on timers. Do not have an APEX, and am just wondering how long people run their lights in a day?

    Mine ramp up from 8 to 10 then down from 630 to 830.
    So the high times for my lights are about 8 hours.
    Now you know I run the sol blues.

    What do you have in your tank for coral - lps/sps? For me, that makes a difference. Zoas/Acans respond better on a different lighting schedule and intensity that SPS do. For example, where my zoas/acans are - high time is only about 3-4 hours with ramp up/down added. LED Blues are close to 100% and start ramping up at 6am and ramp down around 10pm. Whites I think are now 40%. I use Apollo Reef LED's.

    Started off with more LPS, but overtime gradually got more SPS. My guess is 70 percent SPS, 30Percent LPS. Thanks
