10 am - Actinic + Aquapink on
11 am - Actinic and White on
9 pm - Actinic and white off
10 pm - Actinic and Aquapink off

So 1 hour for dawn and dusk and 10 hours of full spectrum. I like using the Aquapink in my dawn/dusk......seems more like a sunrise/sunset IMO

I see a definite trend here with daylight. It seems most people are at 8 hours or less, myself included. 5+ years ago, a similar poll would typically show 10 to 12 hours of daylight. I think we're seeing a lot nicer tanks now with reduced photoperiods.
