Fuge lighting period?

[Mussin]

How long do you guys leave the lights on your fuge and when?  I mean do you run the fuge light same as display light or???

I was going to run the light for 4hrs during the morning before the display lights come on.

I run mine 8 hours. You can run then all day. If you want the best growth I would run the light 18 hours. Giving is a 6 hour brake. Just what I found that works best on my fo tanks.

I ran mine 18 hours a day, on a reverse photoperiod from the main tank- that way the photosynthesis in the fuge helped counteract the ph swing of the main tank being dark.

I run mine 12 hrs, and like the other guys said I run them when my tank lights are off

[Neogenesis]

I run mine 24 hrs a day, I saw no difference in the PH swing when I ran it offset to the tank lights.  I think it's do to my fuge not being large enough to really make a difference.

Tank light are on from 3-10pm

Fuge is midnight to 11am- noon ish

Mine come on an hour before display lights go off and run an hour after lights come on.
