Always run my led 10am-10pm with sunrise and set . Just got a hybrid t5 should I have my t5 kick on at 11 and go off at 9 ? Or should I run it for a shorter period?

Can you explain? I have a t5 hybrid led and t5 together with t5 on its a lot more par than just my 2 ai primes by themselvesIf the PAR levels are similar I'd leave them.
Don’t have a par meter but the tank is blanketed in light now I’m gonna run it 4.5 hrs first with led on same scheduleI would use PAR levels to decide how much to change lighting schedule when changing light fixtures. If the PAR for new and old fixtures are close 10% -15% I'd leave the light schedule the same. If the newer fisxture is significantly brighter then I'd start with a much shorter schedule and adjust it longer over several months depending on how the corals are acclimating.
I’m not really worried about acclimating just wondering about a schedule really
I’m gonna run them for 5 see what happensMost people with hybrid lighting run leds for 10-12hrs with a ramp up and ramp down and the their T5s for 4-8hrs from what I've seen.
What bulb combo?I run my LED's from 7am to 9pm and ramp up an hour. My T5's run from 10am to 6pm.
What bulb combo are you running ?I run my LEDS 9-9. T5s 11-6
I bought my fixture from someone it came with 2 geisemann bulbs that seem to be pretty white and I added 2 b+ . They’re out of c+ on brs . I’m also running 2 ai prime with brs ab+ spectrumI run two ATI Blue Plus and two ATI Coral Plus. LED's are two Prime 16HD and a Hydra 32.
