Light Cylce and Possible Heat Issues
I bought another light for my tank. Its the exact same light i had on there13 watt PC on a 5.5 gallon tank. I can fit two of them on. So i am trying it out. Here is my light cycle now and my light cycle with the new bulb. I wanted to get some feedback on how it sounds and some issues i could come across with heat from the bulbs.
My Light Cycle now is:
9 Watt PC Bulb on Refugium goes on at 7:30AM and turns off at 3:30PM
13 Watt PC Bulb Actinic and Cool White goes on at 8:00AM and off at 3:00PM
New Light Cycle
9 Watt PC Bulb on Refugium goes on at 7:30AM and turns off at 3:30PM
13 Watt PC Bulb Actinic and Cool White goes on at 8:00AM and off at 2:45PM
Other 13 Watt PC Actinic and Cool White goes on at 10:00AM and goes off at 2:15PM
Is this a good light cycle? Do you guys have any others suggestions on light cycles?
Also I have a window Air Conditioner in the room keeping the room at around 70 degrees. Do you think the addition of the Bulb will add too much heat to the tank?
Also should i wait till saturday to try out the new light in case of heat issues or is it nothing to worry about?
If you guys need ill get some pics on friday... Any help or suggestions are welcome...
