At the moment when tank is cycling I set the photo period time for 6 hours with max 70% light intensity for 1 hour, in other time lights ramping from 0% to 65% and after a peak time with70% lights goes down to 0% constantly.
Amonia is still sky high... but it needs more time
Less talks more photos

Hardware. Cabinet still not finished, it needs shelfs and tools holder.
