Bi-orb tank light whilst on holiday

[Dizzylin]

We have recently acquired a bi-orb tank and currently have 3 minnow fish.

We are going away quite a few times this year and I am concerned about the light in the tank because there doesn't seem to be a way of switching the light on other than using the remote control (we were planning on using a timer) it's not feasible for somebody to come in twice a day just to switch the light on and off. The room the fish tank is in gets a lot of day light, will this be enough for the fish?

We are going to use the holiday food things for them.

I have smart timer plugs for my reptiles - so the lights/heaters themselves are switched ‘on’ all the time but the timer plugs switch on & off at set times. Mine are linked up through my Alexa system so I can switch them on/off wherever I am too if there’s any reason I need to do that.

I think you can get another transformer for them (I think that's the big black box thing which connects the plug to the tube/connection to the filter and light and then put this on a timer.
