Do fresh water tanks with cichlids need full spectrum lights

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nope. Don't even need a light at all.
 
Agreed^ they do not need a light. Lights are primarily for us so we can watch the fish. Having said that, physiologically they do require a day night cycle so normal room with a window type lighting would be fine.
