I dont have the money for more lighting yet just buying things as i go. i dont have a timer yet so the lights get turned on when i get up and off when i go to bed i try and keep it around the same times though

7am-9pm would be 15 hours of light.
Maybe a couple hours less of the main lights to start with the water changes.
Water changes once a week until it clears up should work well.
Remember to make sure your first initial water change you get as much of the debris as you can.
