Hi all

I am trying to find out what is your Lighting and CO2 timing for your planted tanks.

145pm to 1145pm for both CO2 and lights.

Lights- ON 11am-4pm, OFF 2hrs, ON6pm-11pm
CO2-15mins before lights ON and cut 15mins before lights off.

CO2: 1245hrs to 2200hrs (off it a bit early cos there's still quite alot of CO2 trap inside my internal reactor)
Light: 1400hrs to 2300hrs

**ronald_t80** · 22nd May 2007, 12:40

CO2: 1300hrs - 2100hrs
Light: 1400hrs - 2200hrs

9am till 5pm for both CO2 and lights. 8 hours.

When away will cut back to 6 hours.

Temptation to turn on lights at night for viewing but will disconnect the MH and just let the PL's switched on for not longer than 2 hours.

It seems that everyone has continuous lighting except for sunnydaze. what is the rationale of not having siestas?

**valice** · 23rd May 2007, 11:36

Does the sun in nature have sietas?

**sunnydaze** · 23rd May 2007, 13:05

Got overcast and shower mah.....

**wasabi8888** · 23rd May 2007, 14:30

I forgot to put in mine

Lighting: 430 pm to 12am
CO2: 330pm to 11pm

**luenny** · 23rd May 2007, 14:37

I on my lights and CO2 from 0730 - 0830 for feeding before going to the office. And then from 1600 - 2300 for viewing at night. CO2 on the same time as lights. May change this when I get a new 2 port digital timer.
