Answer:
produces its own oxygen because there is an installed CO 2 diffuser that in which
the aquatic plants consume and convert the gas to food and thus the aquarium

However, the case here is that the tank need not be constantly lit because
it may cause stress in the fish and does not mimic the Earth Cycle of night
and day as suggested. Only certain time intervals are considered only.
