mattyboombatty       Moderator Tenellus Obsessor Posts: 2790 Kudos: 1507 Votes: 1301 Registered: 26-Mar-2004  | If it's a planted tank, lights 10 - 12 hours would be fine. If not, just whenever you want to view the tank, or a 12 on, 12 off cycle would be ok too. I feed my fish two good feedings a day. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients |
