Default how many hours to light FOWLR and REEF tanks??

Hey guys, as someof you know by reaidng my journal, ive started a 110 gallon Reef tank. Will be SPS down the road, but for now mostly FOWLR.

My question is this. How many hours should lights be kept on?? I only have a 4 x 65 watt PC light for a total of 2.4 watts per gallon, and the tank is high (30 inches). I know for freshwater, the reccomended hours are 10-12, but what about for FOLWR systems??

And what if i start adding coral like sps, lps, softies, etc, is lighting hours the same or should they be decreased??

I do have a fuge that will have a reverse photo period, so please keep that in mind.

Thanks guys.
