I would say 6 to 8 hours is plenty.

I have a 55g with 4 VHO aswell and run mine from 2pm till 10 pm. So eight hours.

I would probably stick within the range of 8-10 hours, anymore and you might start getting algea outbreaks

:o I'm embarrassed to say that I bake my reef with a photoperiod of 14 hours per day. I always thought that reefs in the tropic receive 12 to 15 hours of light per day, no?
