Very essential. Light will regulate the bioclock of fish and plants. You wouldn't like it if the sun shone 24/7 would you?
that the lighting for the tank be turned on/off at the same time every day?

Sorry. I was a bit vague.
My fren told me that the light ideally should be on for like 8 hours a day.
My question is how important is it that I turn on and off the light at the same time every day?
i.e. Is this good?
Day 1 ON: 7AM OFF: 3PM
Day 2 ON: 9AM OFF: 5PM
Day 3 ON: 12PM OFF: 8PM
hmm.....on/off lights same time every day, i suppose most of us do have a fixed timming for that. any reason why u practise the timming for the example u provided? for me which most of us do, use a timer, i being plain lazy.

When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?
i don't really practise the example i gave to that extreme.. The difference is usually just about 2 hours..Originally Posted by richietay

It's usually cuz I stay up late doing stuff and I wake up at different timings according to my school schedule.. I immediately turn it on when I wake up..
And because I don't exactly have "The Full Set", I don't have a timer yet.. haha

You should seriously get a timer.....better control.

haha..
will be getting one fah sure.. but will prolly get all at one shot.. do some research here and there first though..
wat is the purpose of the moonlight other than to simulate the natural env... how does it benefit the T? Should I be doing one(or at least thinking of one)?
Imho the varied timings won't be good because plants will be confused as to when to start and stop their photosynthesis. It's my own analogy.
A timer will certainly help very much. An analog one costs less than $20.
A moonlight imho is purely for asthetic purposes.
Alright.. That problem solved..
Thanks..
