light Cycle?

[Dinoflagellates]

Hello every one, I have a quick question, if I have a new 29 gal biocube tank with only 2 clow fish, about 10 diferent species snails, 5 hermits, and two peppermint shrimp, do I need to have a light cycle? or that is only when you have corals?....

you should have one with or without corals so your fish and inverts can recognize light and night

Thank you, fish_wiz2. I will start a good cycle.

light cycle is so you don't have the lights on/off at weird/different times
