fishiee Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hmm. Interesting question. I have not heard a fish die from overexposure to light before, if that is what you are saying, but in my opinion, you should try and give your frogfish a day/night schedule. It does not matter if it is an hour or 2 off the normal , but it would be good if you give your frogfish some 'night'. Leaving your sump light on 24/7 may stress your frogfish, although it may eventually adapt to the situation. Alternatively, you could provide your fish with some shade, like a cave made out of a flowerpot or something for it to retreat into when it wants some shuteye. In any case, you will have to work out a comprimise with your fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted April 10, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted April 10, 2010 it will die if its exposed to light 24/7. fish need to sleep and such stress over long periods will kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member LaW Posted April 10, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 10, 2010 can but it will be very stressful to them which might kill them in the end. i heard some success stories but i would not encourage it.

Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. || Tank: 78" x 30" x 30" || Sump: 48" x 22" x 20" || Lights: PowerModule 10 X 80W|| Returns: 2 x HF32 || || Skimmer: BubbleKing Supermarin 300 || Wavemaker: 3 x 6100 & 1 x 6200, 2 x Wavebox 6212, WavySea || || FR: 2 x FR150 || NR: Sulphur Denitrator || CR: RM Custom Made 8" || KR: Deltec KM500 || TopUp: Tunze Osmolator 3155 || || UV: Coralife 12X 36W || Ozonizer: Sanders C200|| Controller: GHL Profilux Plus II Ex || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
