I would think that with such large water changes the MH lights are turned off so that it doesn't cook the corals at the top.
There are corals in the ocean that spend a few hours out of the water at low tide they get cooked by the sun and rained on, but yes If I'm going to be more then half an hour then i will turn the MH lights off
