24 hour light cycle for the fuge will help combat pH swing through the night.
What kind of light are you rockin'?

When I had my tank I always ran the refuge lights in an opposite cycle of the DT, plus 30 min overlap at each cycle. Always worked well for me. Had MH on DT and CF on fuge.

I Concur. This is how I have always done it and I also use the 65W Flood.
