Question
Well I had a late night and forgot to turn off my fish tank light! Will my fish be okay? And my normal red/white light for the tank died so i got a fluorescent light... can i use the fluorescent one? thanks

Answer
Hi Tim

Your fish will be fine if you just left the tank lights on overnight. I keep my lights on timers, so that's something you might think about. The fluorescent light is fine, but natural daylight lights are better for your fish.

Hope this helps, good luck!
