Les,

Set it up for the full 12. Most fish need the light as much as we do.

-Do you have any live rock in your tank? I know you said FO, but you never
know.
-Are your lights NO, VHO, or PC?

PS,
Get another little clown for the lonely little clown in that big 80g tank.
That way you'll have a matched set AND a mated pair. (Did you know all
clowns are born male?)

Hi All,

I know its been discussed before for corals, I believe 12 hours is
recommended, but what about FO. I'm waiting for tank to mature before I
add
corals. I have one small Pec Clown. 80g tank 4 x 55W white (7.1K) and 1 x
42w actinic.

Its fairly dark during the day here in Scotland at this time of year so
not
much natural light gets in. Should I just have the lights on in the
evening
for my families benefit or is it better still to have on fort he 12 hours
the fish would get on a reef? I plan to switch on/off in sequence to
emulate
it getting lighter and darker.

Thanks
Les
