Is this just for viewing pleasure? Considering you probably don't have a planted tank, being that you have african cichlids, anywhere from 8-16hrs on a schedule. What light/bulb combo do you have. If its high powered watch for algae on a longer duration. Just my opinion

Just for viewing pleasure yes. I have in some cheap pinkish coloured bulbs that came with the tank but I ordered 2 50/50 bulbs instead. Nothing nigh powered they are just standard T8 fluorescents.
