same debate as UV
many do it. many don't. i try to rationalize it. for one, does the animal have a burrow or hide that shuts out the light? my argus is one to fit this genre becaus it has bout 2ft of dirt to burrow in. so the lights run 24/7.
the acanthurus and tristis i set to on/off for certian hours depending on time of year. anything nocturnal gets a night time as well.
i only do this with my monitors if they have the opportunity and exercise the option ot burrow. the ackies and tristis don't burrow as much and use the stacks more often.
i also choose to do it with one because it's worked so far and i would like to see if there are any differences in them. shy monitors would come out when everyone's asleep and take advantage of the 24/7 lights. other than that i see no differences so far. Mudd doesn't fit this group, as she comes out often and does go into her burrow late at night and usually arises about noon.
(kinda like me when i was a teen)
