Hi all,

I'm currently running my Finnex Planted + from 2pm - 10pm. During the day my tank experiences minor indirect sunlight (depending if it's sunny or not) from ~9am - whenever my lights turn on. Should I be syncing up my lights so they turn on when the indirect sunlight occurs or is my current setup acceptable? I'm just worried the plants aren't getting enough dark time. I have the lights on so late because I like seeing the tank lit when I come home from work.

Thanks for your input in advance. :smile2:

I think you're fine, my tanks experience very similar conditions your still getting darkness from 10p -9a which should be enough

Same situation as me, indirect sunlight during the day before lights on. I haven't noticed any problems after years with my tank in this position. I have a blind that's equivalent of 70% shade cloth and this helps a lot.

Thanks guys, very helpful. I'll continue to keep my lights on the way they are.
