 Re: the switch
on the subject of lighting. i just set up my 2nd attempt at a Npt. i think i might've resolved all the problems i had with the first tank. but i've been getting conflicting stories with lighting the tank. heres what i want to do. i want to set the lights on a timer where it goes on at 10 am then shuts of after 5 hours. then it will switch back on at 6 pm for another 4 hours ( for a total of 9 hours daily) the reason i do this is bc. one of my favorite things to do is..after a long day at work. i like to come home and rather than unwind in front of a tv. i like to sit in my recliner and look at the tank at see all the cories chase each other. its really relaxing. it is ok to do this. or should the lights be on 9 hours straight. i've read some posts where others have said to keep the lights on for 12 hours. i want to keep algae under control bc i had a really bad algae problem with my first attempt at NPT |
