Default How Would YOU Time My Lights?

Hey guys,

so I have a coralife pro 6 foot light over top my tank. It has three different configurations of lights.
  • Three 250W MH 10K bulbs
  • Four 96W Blue Actinics
  • 4 LED Moon Lights

So right now I just have the Actinics and MHs running basically 10:15am-10:15PM but I feel like my lighting is almost too much. Some of my live rock started quite purple from other systems and has had some of this purple become much lighter in colour.

Since reading Kien's setup with his lights coming on at all kinds of different intervals, and even a thunder storm some nights at midnight, I thought I should think about changing my configuration. I think the MHs should be on only like 8 hrs a day perhaps.

With my setup, what kind of timers would you personally have these lights on?

Thanks!
