Day/Night cycle times
 

Hey guys,

Just wondering what you use as a day/night cycle. Right now I'm using 830-630 for actinics and 930-530 for daylights.. However I am at work for these hours and am thinking of changing the cycle to start later and end around 9 or 10pm.. Do any of you guys use a later cycle so you can view it when you're home for longer?

sunrise..... sunset
 

I run actinics and MH
1st actinic T5's on at 08 and off at 21 (9pm)
2nd actinic T5's on at 09 and off at 22(10pm)
2 x 400 W MH on at 11 and of at 20 (8pm)

Few hours left to look at it in the evening

I'm days so's the wife but for the odd evening so we've set the timers for later in the day.

Actinic and 50/50 NO fluorescents 11:00am to 11:30pm, 2x250W MH on 1:00pm to 9:00pm.

I work days and my lights are on from 12:30pm - 12am every day. I'm either at work or sleeping when my lights are off (except for the few hours on the weekend when I'm not sleeping in).

My first actinics come on at 12:00 and last are off at 24:00
Tank is taking indirect sun light in the morning so it is pretty soft start.

Dual H/O t-5's 54w
2-250w D/E's in Lumenmax Reflectors on adjustable hangers
First t-5 blue on 0700--2200 hrs.
Second t-5 on 0900--2100 hrs.
First 250w D/E on 1530--1930 hrs.
Second 250w D/E on 1600--2100 hrs.

Makes for some good evening viewing, get to see a bit of all stages this way.
