Or to balance bulb life you could have one set run in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The overlap in the middle can be your "burst". Jesse -----Original Message----- Hi Matt, I believe with the Catalina you actually have 2 each 2X54 watt circuits. A lot of people will run one circuit for the full period and do a "noon burst" for a few hours for the second circuit to maximize plant growth and still keep algae growth under control (LOL).
