I have my atinics start at 10am to 11pm and the other t5s going from 1030 till 1030. Should I have the lights on for less time?

I would have your lights on for shorter time especially if your acros were sitting in the dark for a week, but I guess it's alittle late for that now.

I would've had the atinics on for 8 hrs and the rest for 5 the. Slowly built it up from there.

I would max the main lighting at 7 or 8 hours, personally.

What ever you decide on the photo period for your tank simply start it couple to few hours later same goes for sunset time.
