Interrupted Daytime Lighting Advice
"A Stuartgranti" wrote in message
... 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! Somewhere in the 90's (I think, maybe earlier) it was thought that this would help combat algae. The theory behind this is that algae needs some time to start it's ynthesis process, while plants can start right away. This way you're giving an advantage to the plants. However this is only a theory, no one has proven it true or false. You can read up on this subject on the krib.
