Problems may arise if the fish have stresses in their environment like unsuitable tankmates or decoration, which they will then be exposed to 24 hours per day without reprieve. Actuall aquarium lights being on all the time will create massive algae growth, but that's not really a concern if most of the lighting will be indirect room lighting.
