Better biorhythm? I think it would benefit the natural behavior of the fish mostly, but I’m sure corals will also benefit.

To reducess stress, allow growth and allow natural reproduction such has spawning.
DAILY QUESTION RESPONSE: Mimicking natural sunlight and moonlight cycles in an aquarium is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of its inhabitants. It helps regulate the natural behaviors and circadian rhythms of fish, corals, and other organisms, reducing stress and supporting essential biological processes like photosynthesis. Additionally, accurate light cycles enhance the tank's aesthetics, showcase true colors, and allow for the observation of nocturnal activities. For hobbyists, replicating these light patterns not only promotes a thriving ecosystem but also supports natural breeding behaviors and overall tank stability.
DAILY QUESTION RESPONSE: I picked up some XR15 G4's for my first lights at a bargain price and now it's time to upgrade!
DAILY QUESTION RESPONSE: Balancing light intensity and duration in a reef tank involves finding the right mix that supports coral growth while preventing stress and algae overgrowth. Start by researching the specific light requirements of your corals and set the intensity to match their needs, gradually increasing the light levels to avoid shocking the tank. Typically, aim for 8-12 hours of light per day, with a gradual ramp-up and down to simulate sunrise and sunset, reducing stress on the organisms. Monitoring the tank's response, such as coral color and growth, will guide you in making fine adjustments, ensuring your reef thrives without overwhelming it with too much light.

Helps with coral spawning and possibly fish spawning. Mimicking the natural sunlight and moonlight cycles gives the coral the opportunity to feel like it's in its natural environment.
I don't really know or have any evidence that it's essential. The potential benefits are Intruiging though.

Ive designed and made my own LED lights, sourcing LED chips, researching and self teaching myself how to make my own own controller and watching my tank flourish with the new lights.
