My 30 gallon planted tank is in a room with several windows... My current
photo period is 12 hours (Noon until Midnight)... From around sunrise until
Noon, the tank is being hit with sunlight from the windows which I think is
promoting some of my algae growth on the glass...

Would there be any benefit for me to light the tank earlier in the day to
try and override the sunlight?? Say turn on the tank lighting at 8 or 10:00
AM and run a 14 hour photo period?

Or, am I just being completely ridiculous!?


Thanks,
Troy
