Okay I know this has been posted a million times but whats the latest.

I am considering placing my actinics on a schedule where they are on one hour before and one hour after my MH bulbs versus leaving them on the entire day. Does anyone see a problem with this or have experiences with this lighting schedule?

I am also considering placing my skimmer on a timer. I plan on setting the controller to turn the skimmer on during the night say 700 pm to 700am then off from 700am to 700pm. Any problems with this schedule.

Thanks for the feedback and yes this is a effort to save a little money and energy.
