How many hrs of light

Hello all:
I was curious as to how much light you all give you tank each day. I have Power Compacts and they are on a timer. I'm trying to mimick an actual day (ie. 10 hrs of light), but have it set up so that the 10 hrs kicks in at 10:00 am so I can enjoy it at night.
Thanks.

I Just responded to this on another post.
I have my lights on appx. 12 hour of the day.
11am- atinics on
12pm- aquasuns on
10pm- aquasuns off
11pm- atinics off
I used to do an hour and a half before and hour and a half after to simulate dusk and dawn but somewhere along the way bumped my timer enough that I lost a half hour on each end. Too lazy to get underneath my tank and switch it back so I left it the way it is.
My 9-5 job keeps me till 7 or later every night therefore I make the lights come on later in the day so that I can unwind with a cocktail while enjoying my tank.

Thanks! I guess I have mine on for about the right amount of time. I'm trying to promote some coral fragments that I bought from SWF to grow.
