I work shift work, switching from nights to days for two weeks each at a time. I don't have a timer on the lights on my tank and don't really want one.
Becasue of my shifts, there is very little consistancy to when I turn the lights on and off. Sometimes they're on for a few hours, sometimes for 10 - 12 hrs, sometimes not at all for a day or two.
I know the lights are mainly for the tank owners pleasure, but is there any negative affect on the fish by sometimes having the lights on until 4 a.m. and different varying hours? In regards to sleep pattern or anything? or does it really not matter?
