Ambient Light Pollution From Room After Lights out

[juggalogentry]

just something i thought of this am when i woke up, After lights out on my tank we almost always still have some kind of light on around the house and it all shines thru to the aquarium, will this ambient light be significant enough to "keep my corals awake" and ultimately stress them out

the 40g in my living room lights are on at 4pm untill 11pm . having said that sunlight shines my tank at 7-7:30am every morning then just ambiant light untill lights come on.
I will tell you my clam and the corals that get that 1/2 hr sunrise light love it!

Some of my zoas and palys stay "awake" after lights out (9:30 PM) till the house lights go out about 10:30-11:00. Can't tell it makes any difference in the LPS/SPS. About 3 of my fish stay up till the house lights are our but all the others (especially the wrasses) are out like clock work when the tank lights go out.

ok that makes me feel a bit better, sometimes its just inevitable in my case
