I will just put both but 24 hr is easier to not mess up...
L1 Whites~4:00/16:00 —7:00/19:00
L2 Ramps~ up 3:30/15:30 Down 11:30/23:30
L3 Blue~ 6:00/18:00 — 11:30/23:30
Hope that helps

These are the settings I have been running on my biocube. I may have changed them a little bit, but overall everything is doing great.

I'm currently at work but I believe my schedule is something close to this.

Lighting Schedule:

LC1 (Daylights):
11:00 am to 7:30 pm

LC2 (Sunrise / Sunset): 10:30 am to 7:30 pm

LC3 (Moon Lights): 10:00 am to Midnight

I believe this is what mine is at right now, is yours much different than this?

Looks good. Gives you the same effect.
So do you think I should just keep mine and not change it? I was just looking to change it only due to the fact my zoas look happier during the blue light

ur settings look pretty good. I know what u mean though. I want to run my blues longer since my zoanthids really look good under it. but im not sure if i should do that. If you do let me know how everything does. I have a lot of LPS, anemones, and zoanthids. Everything has been growing well and not getting to much light so i didnt want to mess with my lights.
