I have a 90gal high tech planted tank with medium to high light requirements. I currently run a two bulb T5HO which covers the total length of the glass top tank. Tank is 48in wide and 24 tall with no floating plants. How many hours per day should this light be left on for optimal growth and color? Thanks.

I was 10-12 hours on my planted tanks. Keeping algae under control was pretty constant. I dropped back to 6 hours a couple weeks ago and I have noticed significant changes. I am going to experiment going to 7 hours and see what that does for me.....but , for me, it was clear that "less is more".
