if i were you i would leave the light on during the day and turn the light off when you go to bed. This reason is during the day, like in the wild the sun which in this case is the light warms up the water, and then at night when the sun goes down the water cools off!

When should the light over the fish tank be on?

You should be aiming for between 8 and 12 hours. about the same time as the sun is up. this helps with the natural environment of the tank, the plants will grow nicely, there wont be loads of algae everywhere, and your fish will behave more naturally. this can obviously be adjusted to suit when you will be looking at the tank, after all your paying for it :P. I have mine on around 11am-9pm because this is when im most likely to be home! too light can lead to an algae bloom and make your tank go green, if this happens don't leave your tank on for so long. it might also help to keep natural sun light off of the tank. tom :)
