Frequently Asked Questions about Aquarium & Fish Tank Light Timers & Mounts
What are fish tank light timers and mounts?
Fish tank mounts are structures built to hold small aquariums in place on a wall mount. These are for tanks specifically designed for mounting on a wall. Fish tank timers are devices that turn aquarium lights on and off for designated amounts of time each day.
What is the best schedule for aquarium lights?
The best schedule generally recommended for aquarium lights is in the range of 8–12 hours each day. This is to ensure proper sleep-wake cycles for the fish and to prevent excessive algae growth. It's also advised to stick to a regular schedule and use a timer so that your aquarium lights turn on and off at around the same time each day.
Is it bad to leave the aquarium light on all the time?
It is not advised to leave the aquarium light on all of the time. This can cause natural disruptions in sleep-wake cycles in fish, promote excessive algae growth, and increase overall energy consumption.
