Yes, the daylights and actinics will both be on at the same time (without the actinics, the daylight bulbs will often be very yellow in appearance). Lighting schedule is really a personal preference. Mine is as follows:

Actinics on: 10:30am
Daylights on: 11:00am
Daylights off: 10:30pm
Actinics off: 11:00pm

Moonlights have no real affect/benefit for the inhabitants, I don't think. It's just for aesthetics. So, when you turn them on/off is entirely up to you.
