Default Light on/off times Whats yours set at?

OK, Just want to get a feel for how long and when people turn their lights on/off
I know Im screwy, thats why Im makin this post. Not sure if I want them on earlier off earlier, I'm usually up 6am till 11PM, like seeing my fishies, but dont want to stress them/cause any more algae. Plus, been thinking about shutting off sooner, then can feed some at dark???

T5s On 8am- 10pm
MHs On 12pm-8pm

It does add some extra algae on the glass everyday in comparison to when I was just running my MHs.
