Sump light on 24/7?
Is it ok to keep sump light on 24/7? I have a 6000K CF "squiggly" wires direct to my tank's power line so it's on all the time. I know theres benifit at night, because of less PH swing, but is it ok?

do you have any macro algae in your sump? i have heard that keeping some types of calurpa(sp) in constant light can cause it go go sexual and kind of nuke your tank with nutrients. Cheato isn't supposed to do that though

Doesnt anyone remember grade 9 science class? Plants need darkness to photosynthesis properly, studies have proven this. You want the most out of your macro algea it needs atleast 10hrs of darkness with a 12 on /12 off pattern showing the most photosynthesis in plants.
