Lighting

[leafs]

How long should I keep my tank lights on? Is there such a thing as too much lighting? I don't intend to have live plants.

Thanks

10-12 hours a day, and yes, you can have to much lighting!

If you don't intend to have have live plants then you should keep lighting to a minimum i.e. only when you are viewing your tank. Light without plants will only grow algae.
