? 14 hours long enough for fuge light ?

Just got my fuge up and running! YAY!
Installed the light tonight...
Is 14 hours long enough for the light to be on?
I know some do 24/7 as well...
What's given you the best results?

i use 24/7 but other ppl do opposite of their main lights matter of choice or heat. im not worried about heat since i have a chiller so i run 24/7 for better ph stability

I'm running mine 24 hours right now, it's been 4 days now and the Chaeto is already growing like crazy.

Mine is set to run 24/7 as well and my chaeto has at least tripled in size in about a week.
