Hi guys, I'm building a nano reef aquarium and I was wondering what my lighting schedule should be? There is two different types of light. Blue actinic and 20,000k white. What times should be on and off for both. Thanks, joe
 
You can imitate a sun cycle using simple timers.
For example do:
8:00am Blue lights on
9:00am White lights on

8:00pm White lights off
9:00pm Blue lights off

12hr light cycle is how you should go.

The blue lights at the end act as a moonlight for a while.
Keep your lights on for a about 10 hours a day.
