dont you have a timer? or is it that it has no lights or is run off a switch? could always try buying a cheap (although probably too late) flourescent strip and running it on a timer

i tryed one of those a few weeks ago and i ended up breaking it with a sledge hammer

... I have a christmass light timer wich i am using for my discus tank... would the sun light be enough ?

Dont bother putting the lights on

My tanks are set up in a room that has a good amount of light getting in during the day, so when I do go away, I leave the lights off and use the natural light.
