Basking time?

Hello

I currently have one RES and one yellow bellie.
I was curious of how many hours i should have thier basking light on?
I have odd hours...So currently i have the lights on when i get home (4am) to 7 or 6 am. Is this long enough or should i have this light available to them most of the day?

I used to have the lights on during the day when i was not home but it turns the water floursent green ^^ good ol floating algae.

With the cut hours the tank is looking -much- better...but i wans to make sure this is safe for them as well.

They do have light during the day as well, two windows in the room semi covered. So they are not compleatly in the dark as well....

Thank you ! ^^
