Lighting for corals

[Sina5587]

I have a deep blue professional 36" t5 lighting system and was wondering what I should set the timer on for a coral/fish tank. I have two clownfish yellow tang gobbie and a torch coral I just added an hour ago. If anyone can help me I'll really appreciate it. Thank you

I have the same fixture for my 55 mines the 48"4 bulb I have my blues come on at 9 the whites at 10. The whites shut off at 8 and the blues at 9. Corals are doing good.

Keep an eye on the torch. If it starts losing color, you are going to need to upgrade to something more powerful.

Oh. Why did i think you had 2 lamps? 4 lamps is a different story. You should be fine.
