Lighting Schedule for Refugium on Large Tanks
Trying to do a few tweaks to the photo period of the refugium while I have time to. I resolved my phosphate issue I was having but in the process killed most of my cheato. Now is a good time to reset things. How many hours a day are people running their lights in the refugium? If using the reverse light cycle let me know that too if you don't mind.

Lots of water changes and then I used PhosGuard but you have to be real careful the way I did it because it strips the phosphate fast and if you have lots of SPS some will not react too kindly.

I basically run my fuge opposite of my display light. When the moon lights come on 815pm ish the larger lights start to dim (30%) or so and as the sun set the moon lights ramp up and my LEDs drop off. As the moon lights ramp up so does my fuge lighting. And just opposite in the am 6amish the five lights are off but about 4am they start to dim (30%) ish and they taper off at about 615 am. Hope that helps.
