Any reson why everyone (with the exception of Will) turns on their lights so late in the day (i.e. 12-1pm). And Tony whats with the night owl hours?

 

[bad coffee]

some of us are mostly noctournal.

If you work a 9-5 job, why have the lights kick on when you're not home? If the tank is in a room that doesn't get natural light, the inhabatants of the tank won't know the difference. It's not like fish wear watches! Although I have heard rumors of some lawnmower blennies wearing pocket watches.

I figured this was the reason, but felt the urge to ask anyway...

 

[fritz]

I thought algae blennies kept the old schoool pocket watches on a chain!?

White LEDs 12:30pm-2pm

My blenny's watch wasn't waterproof so it broke
Then I felt like playing a 6 hour daylight savings time trick on him year round :tongue1::lol:

But seriously, the same reasons as everybody else. I want the lights on when I get home from work and they'll turn off slightly before I sleep

 

[Chris5]

I like to be able to see my tank at night (when i'm home) and i strech it out till the morning so i can also see it when i wake up before i go to work.
