| JMT1SOMR Big Fish Posts: 302 Kudos: 192 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Oct-2001 | It's only on for 12hrs. a day. If you look at the blinds, you can see that it is daylight outside. I just made it dark in my room. Also, why would it matter to the fish which 12hrs. of the day the light was on? Thanks. -Justin |

| soclosetome Enthusiast Posts: 239 Kudos: 49 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Jan-2003 | If you do have some nocturnal fish in their then it probably would be best to keep it off at night time. Aside from that I don't see any problem with having it on 12 hours. [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-07-15 16:06][/span] |

| JMT1SOMR Big Fish Posts: 302 Kudos: 192 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Oct-2001 | But, I dictate when "night time" is. That's what I;m getting at. The 12hrs. a day can be from 8PM-8AM at night. The fish wouldn't know the difference. |

Azizza  Mega Fish Posts: 1134 Kudos: 713 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Mar-2003 | I would love to see that.  I want to get a corner or Hex Tank and make a reef. These can be a real pain to light though. |
