I have actinics on 10 hours, Daylight on 8 hours and my moon lights on after the actinics go off till I go to bed so 2-3 hours

i've done it before on accident, but imo, theres no need to. Just get a moonlight if you want, but they'll do fine w/out light during the night hours

guess you can, but if your fish are use to sleeping in the dark/moon light, it might disturb their sleep for a couple of day until they get use to it.
Shouldn't do any harm (they might be a little cranky though ;))

and also, that just seems like a waste of bulb life to me. You're gonna run it out 2 times as fast if you run it at night too. And actinics dont really do anything to help corals grow. So everyone says anyways...i mainly use them for a morning evening type thing.
