Do fish need light and if so what would be the minimum hours

Fish can do with just room light
the tank light is just for your viewing pleasure. Most fish 5-6 hours a day is fine Plant or coral would need more, probably 10-12 hours but thats another topic |
fish no need any more than your ambient light but an extra light over the tank can help bring colors out.
For fish only tanks I highly recommend LED strips that give the tank awesome shimmering effect. |

If u want to talk color
then we have to food |
Anybody who does photography knows that you need light to see colors. You can feed the fish the best flakes one can find but without light you won't see any colors.
Don't believe me, take a look at your tank at night. :) |
light bring out the colors do doubt, But with out proper food there will be no colors.
anybody that know reefs know the actinic light bring out the best of the corals Food and water condition make a world of difference |
Actinics are great, but try ATI Blue + next time and you might be in for a surprise.
|
I have ati blue
they are great Theyb make a few different actinics |
Ati bulbs
Will theses light bulbs fit in a standard 4 foot light fixture ; if not are there any similar bulbs for the standard 4 foot fixture that would give the same effect as the ati bulbs 👻🎱👍

They are t5 ho's we are talking about
They will only work in a t5 ho fixture the ballast has to match on all flores fixtures and ati are one of the best bulbs out there. There is a big difference from one manufac to the next no differance then salt mixes or declorinator, one is better then the other |
bulbs can be measured with a lux meter or par meter. Which can actually show the differance
