We used to have them on for 10-11 hours but had a little too much
algae. Nine appears just about right for our setup. Your results
may vary, of course.

They've been in there quite a while. Some plants take time to adapt
to warmer temps, some don't. Some never do. It seems there was
one or two plants which never did well, but I can't remember which
ones.
