My actinics come on at 10:00am and go off at 10:00pm. My halides come on at 1:00pm and go off at 9:00pm. Moonlights come on at 9:00pm and go off at midnight. Red LEDs are on a switch and come on when it is dark and I'm feeling nosy ;)

Montipora sp. Digitata and encrusting, Euphyllia sp., Zoanthids colonies. No Acro sp. if that's what you're curious about.

my vho's come on at 10am and on until 11am then my metal halides come on at 1045am and stay on until 845pm with my vho's coming back on 1030pm to 1130pm to finish it off-dont run vho and metal halides at same time-to me kind of useless-
