rofl i know ... but the aqua is in my room , and the noise of the filtration make that i cant sleep, anyway if i could keep it all the time i would do it !!
But, i just turn off it during the night, but i saw , some day, where i forgot to put the filtration On, that the hoplias would swim and if the filtration would be on , they wouldn't swim .. i just saw that.
But i will repeat it, I know that it would be better to let the filtration works 24/24, when i dont sleep at home, this is what i do .. (but u know 7 hours without filtration is not a crime and wont change a lot of thing) ..
