8 hours a day but anubias can take low light levels. i think the quality and the hardness of water would figure in more than the light. it needs to have nutrient rich water sans the substrate. it would thrive better in hard water with suspended minerals. deep well water recommended.

i was just statingthat most plants take their nutrients from the substrate and the water. anubias gets it from water if not planted in substrate. once a week and regular fertilization.
