What would you recommend for my photoperiod? What do Red Planets like?

They are definitely deceptive. This is why i've always wondered why people consider them insufficient, especially over a small tank. While I agree I could do with a big kid lighting setup I feel that a 150 should be sufficient in most cases. (and yes I do understand it has to do with how far he light can penetrate through the water column)

I'm planning on upping my light by 15 minutes a week. Am I being too anal about this or can/should I go faster?
