yes you should. I would use a timer. All of my freshwater and saltwater tanks turn on at 10 AM and shuts of at 10PM

Hi Josh, It would be a good idea to turn the lights off at night,
It simulates night and day for the fish.
Also keeping the lights on for too long could create some algea issues.
Good luck!

I third this...set up a schedule of lights on for 8-12 hours (determined by needs of inhabitants as well as any algae growth issues).
