Setting timer for new light
I took everybody's advice and purchased the 36" Nova Extreme 4-bulb for my aquarium. It comes with the lunar lights
 My question is, how do I go about setting up a time schedule now for the lights? I am going to Lowe's tomorrow and getting 3 individual timers (one per set of lights, and one for the lunar lights) Any and all help would greatly be appreciated! Thanx!

Re: Setting timer for new light
I set mine so that actinics come on 1 hour before the whites,and turn off 1 hour after.My moon lights pretty much run 24/7.
