Recently, I added 3 live plants to my 29 gal...so I know I will have to leave the lights on for longer now. Usually, I would turn them on when I got home from school, at around 4:15pm, and I turn them off before bed, usually 10:30- 11 pm. I see that that is only about 6-7 hours... and that the reccomended is 12 hours. Can anyone please suggest at what time I should be turning the lights on so that theyre on for a good amount of time....rather than just 6 hours?
I leave for school in the morning at around 8:05am. I was thinking that if I turned them on at that time, I would have to turn them off at 8pm that night, since it would be 12 hours...which will leave the fish in the dark for the rest of the night... But does that seem like a good idea, or are there any better suggestions please?
