Wow my fish must hate me. Didn't realize everyone else's was using such a short photoperiod. My lights come on at 9am and turn off 1am.

lol i was making the same mistake bro

the lights go on whenever i turn em on, off whenever i turn em off. sometimes they arent even turned on.

thats the way i do it also sometimes its nice for your fish not to get any light at all, just on the odd occasion though

In my fishroom I have Tiers stacked 3 tanks high... the bottom two tanks have lights mounted directly above them... but there are no lights on the top tanks... Even my established breeding pairs stop breeding when kept in the top tanks. Since lighting is the only difference I can find, I'm assuming this is the reason. It works well for me as I like to give breeding pairs a break once or twice a year.

Just a little something I've learned about lighting that I thought I'd share

I only turn the lights on about 4 hrs a day & sometimes not at all. The fish don't need them in the least and I suspect they'd rather never have the lights on. Lights are for us and algae.

i turn them on around 6-8am and off 8-10pm.. id like the keep them on more of a "daylight" schedule but i use the tanks for room lights

Used to have all set to 1000-1300 and 1700-2200, now due circumstances not under my control they are all on 1700-2300
