I never turn on the light in my hood. My p's hate it. Is that bad for the tank leaving it off all the time.?

I read the post up top.....using red bandana. =). I created this post because I was thinking of not using a light at all.

i have 110 watts of power compact on my tank and i dont even have any live plants in there... the p's actually seem to like it with light rather than without it.. the light seems to make them more active and colorful... try putting the lights on a timer for a week to see if they adjust.. they might start to like it

In my 75 , I went with a 3 phase lighting setup. In the area of the aquarium where I have plants, I used a dark red bandana under my light. In the middle I used a yellow bandana, and torwards the far end I used nothing to dim the light. They seem to like it ok.
