lighting schedule

So right now I turn my day time light on at 12pm and turn it onto the moonlight mode which is all blue lights between 9 and 10 and leave it on that mode until I put it back onto the daytime mode the next day.should I have a timer shut my light off in the middle of the night? This would cause total darkness because my room has no windows I don't know if that matters.but as of now my light has been on since I bought it pretty much because I just leave it on the moonlight setting throughout the whole night which I'm kind of thinking isn't right but I'm not sure its a fluval sea 48-56" led light it only has a day off and night mode.any helps appreciated

moon lights are designed to be on all nite until either actinics come one or in your case the daylights come on.. i would suggest a timer so you dont have to deal with manually turning lights on and off...but it is fine to have the lunar lights on till the daylights come back on...
