Improper or insufficient aquarium lighting leads to stress, unhealthy growth in plants, fishes, corals and reef. The light fixtures are to provide and replicate the natural conditions of light in natural habitats. Most aquariums need appropriate level of light.

To Keep in Mind: The lighting choices and time vary in reference to different species, so please research the species you want to keep so that you can choose the most appropriate fixtures. A good range of time would be anywhere from 6 to 12 hours. Fish only setups could range from 6 to 12 hours, reef tank setups and freshwater planted aquariums could range from 10 to 12 hour photo periods. Leaving the lights on for longer time periods could contribute to nuisance algae growth, higher tank temperature and quicker tank water evaporation.
