I just picked up another common wolf and am wondering about the current lighting that I have for the tank. I have two 32W fluro's that are lighting the tank. What I was wondering is if this is too bright for the wolf and how long I should have them on for during the day. Right now I have both this tank and my other tank set for 12 hours on and 12 hours off, from 10am-10pm.
 
12 hours should be ok, but I tend to run 8-10 to limit algae growth. Whether it is too bright just depends on the footprint of the tank compared to the lux the lights put out. Or you could just watch him and see if he acts differently under the light :)
