Interested to know if members offer their tank a period of darkness over the course of a month, week, etc.
I have spoken with a couple of people that do in fact turn off their lights for a few days a month. Any benefits to this? Can it hinder the tank any?
I figure it can be a good thing to do here and there considering when bad weather occurs naturally the reefs are pretty much in darkness, so it may be beneficial to simulate this in our closed systems.
Not having much luck finding anything as far as literature is concerned on the subject.
What do you all think?
