I have the 10,000 daylight, the actinic blue light and the moon lights. Do I set the main daylight and actinic lights to both turn off at the same time and then the moon lights come on? Or how do I set it up with my timers? Thanks
 
Think of nature. I'd probably have the actinic come on first in the morning, then the 10k about 30-60 mins later. have them shut off in reverse...10k goes off, then 'sunset' for 30 mins of just actinic. I'd say have the moonlight come on when the actinic goes off.
 
I've seen some website with lighting schedules, i followed them and it works well

7:30am-Moonlight Goes OFF
7:30am- actinic goes ON
8:00am- flourescent goes ON
8:30pm- fourescent goes OFF
9:00pm- Actinic goes OFF
9:00pm- Moonlight goes ON

HTH
