I do 1 hour Antic and full daylight for the next 7 hours.
Then it goes right to LED moon light with refugium lights on.
On the weekends I extend the day light for an hour or two,
just because I'm home and I like the extra hour of entertainment.

I don't know if it really matters, however the point to our fancy
Current USA lighting is 24 lighting solution. So I like simulating
sun rise, but since the lights aren't on for 16 hours I keep them full blast
until the end.

I like this forum. You guys have been very helpful and keep it
interesting.

I just got my Outer Orbit lighting system by CurrentUSA. Awesome light by
the way. Anyway I've read a few opinions on timing the lights and wanted
to hear some "live" information and what's been working for others.

I've heard any thing from 6 hours to 12 hours. I've also heard blue
lights for an hour then kick on the halides for 6-8 hours then blue lights
(actinic) again for an hour then the moon lights/no lights.

What has been working for you guys?

Thanks.
