Aquarium Light Timers: Coralife Power Center this thing looks capable i think
6hrs HPS then 6hrs of "matching wattage" Clear Inc's then 12hrs SID works good..
No cycling of Inc's during the 6hrs of MH 'on time'...
If you only had 660 led's and a MH or Blue led's... Then you would cycle the 660 every half hour during your MH/Blue led 'on time'... This method would have the MH/Blue led's on the entire 'on time' ..... Unlike the above method that only has the MH on half of the 'on time'... Make sense..
One of the above two substitution methods is the way to go at first..
The HPS and equal wattage clear Inc is the easiest way to go IMO... 2 timers and an air cooled hood and some clear Inc's.. I Just shove the clear Inc's right inside the air cooled hood..
If you got a far amount of 660nm on hand (lol) then the 660 method might be better IDK... Personal I don't have enough 660nm to compete with any of my HID bulbs to try the #2 method out.....

Digital timers that I've worked with suck.. They constantly needed adjusting... I mean like every day or every other day.. What a pain in the ass that was and still couldn't get it right...lol
The push pull ones, once set work better IMO.. It's just getting them set that sucks.. Then when you need to adjust the timing, you will have to re-set all the timers again... It's tricky IMO...
Hope this helps you out..:thumbsup:
What wattage incandescent can i supplement 150 watts on two bansai's in 1 gallon two 75 watt halogen bulbs? i want to have them on during the whole 12 hour on time for the lights because the plants are a little cold in the first place with only the small light. :rasta:
