Lights will never need to always be on, even with corals. With just fish in that tank, you could just do 6-8 hours on per day and be fine. Can't wait to see pics, I love gladiator clowns!!!

The time each day doesn't matter but I'd keep it consistent.

Love those clowns! Gladiators are pretty great. Agreed with the others... 6-8 hours a day for fish only would be just fine as long as you keep it consistent. If you need to, get a timer so you don't have to mess with it every day.

It doesn't matter. They will learn the light schedule that you put them on.

You should try to simulate a natural environment for them, so consistent time of lights on and lights off, the same as the sun coming up each day and setting. If you're out all day and your main viewing time is in the evening, you can have lights on from mid to late morning till after dinner - just have it the same each day.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
