LR does not really require any special lighting or photo period. If your have corals on it, then that is a diferent story. If you are trying to accelerate coraline growth having a higher CA level and the proper CA/ALK balance is more important then light. You can run your lights 10-12hrs a day. It is nice to have the actinics turn on an hour before the daylights and turn off an hour after.
