Hello All,
New to the hobby. I have a 100 gal tank that is only 2 months old. Only have 6 fishes no corals and 4 AI Prime HD lights. I have some chaeto in my refugium isump with a tunze fuge light that runs several hrs everyday. Currently, I have my lights on only an hr or 2 everyday. Someone advised me to hold off running my lights on a full schedule since......
1) My tank is fairly young and that the bacteria in my system are not quite stable yet
2) Since I dont have any corals, turning on my lights will only encourage algae to start growing
3) Only have fish and dry rocks so, lights are not very critical.
4) Why spend $$$ on elctricity running my AI Primes is not needed
Planning on adding corals in month 4 or so....any thoughts?
