16g nuvi light schedule question

#1
It came with the dual stock lights with the daytime and moonlight. Would you just run them solo. or daylight during the day and moon at night or would you mix them into each other, or just use both during the daytime. Don't know what all the tank is going to hold but probably some basic corals, a shrimp or 2, maybe a small fish. What do I do with the lights. I do have both sets hooked up to timers.

Probably use the blues for a dawn to dusk thing for 12 or so hours and add in the whites for 6 or 8 hours. Great white aquatics on Fort Collins is running one, you may want to call them. Good luck, those look cool.

I have the same tank...I run 3 of the stock lights on it though (bought an extra one). Sadly, the blues are so weak you could probably run them 24/7. I can't remember exactly the hours but I think 6 or 7 for the whites and 8 or 9 for the blues. (before & after the whites but on together for the time the whites are on)
