|  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? |

|   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). |
