How long to leave lights on?
This is a topic i've never seen come up, but I'm sure it has at some point.
I'm leaving my 160w (4 40w bulbs) on for 12 hrs a day off for eight or so over a 55 gallon. Is this too little or too much? Can anyone elaborate on this? Plants right now are crypts, Spirella, a melon sword and a bunch of java fern. |

That's only 18 hours in your day.
Usually recommend 10-12 hours per day. HTH, DJay "Aku, Shapeshifting Master Of Darkness" wrote in message ... This is a topic i've never seen come up, but I'm sure it has at some point.
