How long am i meant to keep the filter on in my fishtank?

should i always have it on? or just during the day?
Answers:
Filters are used to take out the ammonia, and other little particles in the tank.

So should have it on all the time.
Just like Bubbles said, It should run 24/7 except for routine maintenance.

If possible leave it on continuously, night and day.
About two hours after you turn the filter off the beneficial bacteria start to die ,after 24 hours they will all be dead and the cycling process will have to start over from zero. Lots of water testing,lots of water changes,probably dead fish. Just let it run.
All the time.
You should leave it on 24/7. Or you could set it on a timer and let it run from 12 am and stop at 10:30 pm so it has some time to "cool down" from being on all day.

run it constantly! thats why there are warranties on them.
