Who Leaves their LEDS on?

[Alysiak00]

I was just wondering if I was the only one that leaves my night-time LEDS on all day. This way i save a few power outlets (because of timer size) and its less of a hassle.

I also didn't know if anyone thinks this is a bad idea. i didn't think it was because the leds last SOOOOOO much longer

Since LEDs don't add much heat, if any, and they have a longer life, I just keep them on all day too. I kinda think of LEDs as supplementing my actinics during daytime.

My LED's never turn off....the moonlight one's that is....the smaller "LED" tank offsets my main display. But it is purely for long term experiment.

I leave mine on all day and turn them off late at night so there is a very dark period of a few hours. I find that some of my fish don't sleep normally if I leave them on all night.

I am curious, why leave them on all day then?

i leave mine on all day strictly out of convenience. I probly should get a timer for them during the day but i believe i'm like every other reefer, I'M OUT OF PLUGS!

I leave mine on all day also because it isnt on a timer.

I dont have them on a timer...turn them on when I wake up and check the tank and off when I go to bed.

If I had them on timer I would turn them off during the day...
