Odyssea T5 Aquarium Lighting

Just got this for my 30 gallon.

2x 24W T5 HO lamps 10000K
2x 24W T5 HO lamps Actinic Blue
2x LED moonlights

How should I run these? It is programmable.

I set it to for now:

Actinic - 7:30am-5:30pm
10000k - 9:30am-3:30pm
LED moonlights - 5:00pm-3:00am

I'd love any advice
 
Start with 6 hrs of blues, 2 hrs of white and moons on reverse. I would eventually run the blues for 12 hrs and 4 on the whites but thats just me.
