I light my planted tank for 3 X 3 hours per days. 7-10am, 12 to 3pm and 6 to 9pm. with Co2 from 5.30AM to 8:30PM.
I am doing this because I read somewhere its encouraged to give plant some resting period during the day.
I now doublt about it, as if If I lit for a 6 hours perid in one go, I can see much stronger phosphating activities, i.e pearling much much more.
Which is better? one 9 hours slot? or 3 X 3 hours slot?
I am thinking to change to 12PM to 9PM, in this case, Could I reduce Co2 from 11AM to 8PM only?
As my aqauarium is near the window drawing a lot of nature sunlight. would sunlight in the morning causing any alage problem due to co2 not switched on? or I could play it safe to make Co2 8am to 8pm.
