I am still a little unsure about how much light my plants need.  Should I have the light dimmer or bright? White light or full spectrum? How long everyday? 

thank you!! So many confusing things I’ve read online I hope there is just a simple way to do things!

The main thing you want is for the lights to be on for at least 8 hours a day, ideally 10 hours. I have my light on full spectrum for about 4-6 hours and the rest is sunset and sunrise (I really wish I could change this, but its a nicrew light so I can't) 

Here is a thread that people discuss about how they program there lights. They specifically talk about the fluval 3.0 planted light, but you can still get some information there regarding a ligth scehdule:
