If my lights have 4 bulbs, and two of them are the blue ones, what kind of schedule should they be on? In my nano the pc's were half and half, so all the lights were on at the same time. But when i go into the lfs they have just the blue ones on, and he says he runs the bright ones at night instead of the day to help keep it cooler( he doesn't have to worry about natural light cause he's a basement). My tank would be near lights in our living and dining rooms until about 11 at night, should i make sure the lights are on at that time? There might be a little bit of natural light that gets to my tank if the blinds are open, how direct does it need to be to make a difference?
