fish tank lighting

Question
Do you need to turn your fish tank lights off at night? Can you leave them on 24 hours?

Answer
Hi Lana;

You could leave them on 24/7 if you want to. I do that with some of mine because they are kind of a "nightlight" for the rooms they are in.

I always pay for it in massive algae growth though, so be prepared for that part.

There are some fish that are nocturnal and come out only at night too. If you have nocturnals and they will not come out to eat you may have to turn the lights off for a few hours every day just for them.
