Ya k I read about the lighting but the answer does not really support anything

It says that the algea needs rest and will burn on 24. Hr light. Also stated that it filters at night.

I'm no expert but a master gardener coarse and 10 years with horticulture as a hobby. Would lead me to Question there answer

Any plant in a vegitive state does not show any degregation from 24 hour light. Along with increased growth come taking more nutrients out of the water.

Unless it changes water chemistry
