DChemist Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't think live rock requires a minimum amount of light. Don't worry about your lights until you have corals or anemones that will require it for survival and growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Read about my tank in the member aquarium section (Reef Junkie) I had my rock under a normal fluorescent shoplight for several weeks before I got my T5HO lights. The rock does not need any light to cycle. Light just causes algae to grow. You may or may not want this. I wanted algae to grow so there was food for the 'pods and hermits that I had in my tank. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
