How long is a good light cycle for zoo's and Shrooms?

I have a 24 Gallon Nano, With 2-65 watt 10,000K actinics.

Just bought a timmer and trying to set it up so it is most benificial (sp) to my softies. So how long should I set it for? Any sugestion would be great.

I would run it 12-14 hours a day. If you had actinics as well i would run them 14 and the 10k's 11 or 12..........
actinics can bring out some sweet colors you wont see without them........
