    Simple question hoping for the simple answer....
    I have a refugium in the center section of my biocube with live rock and chaeto. I installed the coralife light in the back and was wondering how long to run it and what time of the day is best?

    I would run it on the opposite schedule as your main tank lights. So when tank lights turn off, fuge lights come on, and vise versa. This will help with pH swings at night.
