    Hi all,

    If I turn on my lights and CO2 for 24 hours, does it help to improve plant growth? Will there be algae problem?

    yah agree.. do not lights on for 24hrs.. The plants need to rest too.. Imagine yourself staying awake for 24hrs everyday...

    The fish will get stressed too with 24 hour lighting. Once my office tank lights were intentionally left on by a colleague over the weekend.... and algae appeared following week and fish suffered white spots.
