I ran mine 24 hours when I kept calurpa, to keep it from going sexual and dumping nutrients in the tank, but I run the light on a reverse
photoperiod now, for two reasons. 1) The vascular activity when the lights are on helps keep the
pH from driping at night. 2) It has been fairly well demonstrated that plants do better with at least a short break from photosyntheses. They absorb CO2 and expel O2 during photosynthesis, and do the reverse during lights out. a break from photosynthesis is more natural, and beneficial
IMO.
