Whats your tank size?
How many watts is your light?
What does your tank contain in regards to plants?
8-12 hrs a day should be enough. Fish need rest 2

10 hours maximum only for me. Fish need rest especially at night and some are rather nocturnal appearing in the dark only.
Good to know...cause i just got 2 blue lights a few days back and I would be upset if they turned out to be a bad thing for my tank 
yea, i have my lighting hoods on a timer so that their lighting cycle is kept regular. You can get a cheap one outlet timer at walmart or lowes for a few dollars.
timers are my savior...
I have a cheap one from home depot, the "manual" one and also a corallife strip for alternating day/moon lights...kinda expensive though
