during the day if you tank is bright enough inside to see right to the back and you see good detail on your fish...you can actually leave the light off..this will not do any harn to the fish and may help fight off any algae... do not however put your tank where it get direct sunlight this will cause unwanted algae...
If you feel you need the light on to enjoy your fish ( watching them ) then leave it on during the day and turn it off at night..
