Theres no correct/better way.

I know of a friend that works till late...so his lighting will be on only at night and off in the day...so he can see his LS when he got home. Recommended lighting period is around 8-10hrs.

That's what I do too. My reason is that the temperature at night is cooler so temperature rise from the lights will not be high.

just switch ur lights on acc. to ur needs loh...

if ur photoperiod is in the daytime, one advantage is that u may get a bit of the natural sunlight to supplement ur lights...

on the other hand, in the nighttime, u might view it more often, n it's cooler that way too

btw, i on mine from 11am to 9pm

I switch on my lights in the evening because this is the time where I will be at home. So, I will be able to see the lighted tank. I one at around 6pm to around 2am.
