Default Interrupted Daytime Lighting Advice

Hello,
I want to try a 2 hour lights off period during the middle of
the day (while I'm at work basically). Are there any
advantages/disadvantages of this regarding plants or algae control?
I personally don't buy any arguement of stressing out the fish. My
room isn't pitch dark or anything (fair amounts of indirect sun) and
it's not like fish in the wild freak out everytime it gets cloudy.

Thanks in advance!


It shouldn't make any difference. My lights come on for an hour, then off
for an hour, then on for ten hours, and plants and fish are fine, this is
also the timing of the tank heaters as they are on the same timeswitch.

HTH.
