lights- how long?

[peter1215]

hey how long do most people leave on their tank light? Is 8-10 hours too long for a fowlr?

14-16 hrs on, 8-10 off.

or you can do 12 and 12, the most important this is consistency, that's why timers are so important.

I've noticed when i go more than 10 , i get brown algae on my glass.

You should emulate your livestocks' natural environment. The tropics are 12 and 12 with little variance all year.

thats a good point too.
