The pros here usually recommend: 1. 8-10 hours each day 2. For new tank setup, starting from 4 hours and increase one hour each week gradually until reaching the maximum. This is to avoid algae burst. 3. The lighting schedule should follow the natural sunlight, say, from 10:00am-6:00pm. This would allow better adaption of plants. 4. If splitting of schedule is preferred, it's better to keep at least one session of 8 hours lighting.
