Since starting my tank, I've illuminated my fuge nonstop. Is this bad / good / insignificant? I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks. Scott
That really depends on what you have in your fuge Scott. Most of the time it's perfectly fine, if that's the way you prefer to operate. Personally, I run my fuge light on an opposite schedule. Light affects the pH of your tank, so it is generally beneficial to run the fuge light on an opposite schedule because that will make the pH value more consistent. It's up to you though. What are you keeping in your fuge?

Its a 39 gallon fuge with miracle mud and Calerpa. Nothing else.
Caulerpa. this means that a 24/7 lighting schedule is a must!
Keep the light on 24/7 period!
otherwise it may go sexual and you definitely don't want that happening. Good luck.

Keeping the fuge light on 24/7 reduces stress in the caulerpa and prevents it from going sexual.
