As I was reading an different thread, people mentioned they had a break in time midday to help prevent algae. This got me thinking and I'm curious if anyone has tried the following or has any input on it.
The idea is to do 4 3 hour spurts of light with a 1 hour break in between each spurt. I was thinking of times like 8am-11am, break, 12pm-3pm, break, 4pm-7pm, break, 8pm-11pm.
Do you think it would benefit the plants at all? (allowing time for CO2 to build up every few hours and then burning through it?) Would it help lower algae growth? Totally pointless? Negative impact on plants? fish?
Let me know your thoughts!
