Nice, it'll be my first ever in 6+ years running a tank that I'll have actinics running. I figured that I could turn them on and off at leisure, so I could just use them for pics or whatever if I didn't like them on all the time.

I have my atintics come on a hour before my main lights, the run my main lights for 9 hours, the just my atintics for 2- 3 hours, the last couple of hours are set so I can watch the tank when I get home and are winding down, with all my lights on, it almost hurts your eyes after about 10-15 min,

One big reason I got them was to light up my tank after my lights went off, so even I didn't like them as supplements, I'll use them to blast the tank with blue when the halides come on, granted that they are bright enough. I have been getting a lot of colorful wrasses, so I would like to see them under some blues :)
