Now that spring is here and theres lots of natural light
i turn light on in morning when i feed and turn off about 4p ( winter schedule )
my fish look beautiful in the fluorescent light.
But when i turn it off my fish are freakin !! Beautiful !!! SO MANY COLORS !!!
i dont want to mess up there schedule but they look SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL in natural light im thinking of turning off maybe at noon.
but when winter gets here again i dont want to mess them up.
just curious of all your lighting schedules ( non planted of coarse LOL )
thats not for a while ! LOL
thanks for any input
later

If you don't have live plants, the lighting schedule shouldn't cause any problems. If you want to leave the tank lights off, it's fine.

Natural sunlight caused severe algae growth in a tank near a window. I keep them out of the sunlight now.
