Light Timing ??

[crazy cajun]

I have a 90 gal reek tank, with 48" T5 HO lights 2-54w 12000k 2-54w Actinic and 4 Bluemoon LED, my question is what time frame should each light run, here is my thoughts and let me know if im going wrong somewhere im new to saltwater,

9am Actinic for 1hr
10am actinic and daylight bulbs until 9pm
9pm Actinic 1hr
10pm moon lights only for all night

i have the schedule later so that i can enjoy my tank when im home from work in the evening. all advice welcomed, Thanks

That seems like a good schedule. You could even cut it down a bit, so that lights are on 8 hours or so, total.

Your lights won't be sufficient to keep most corals in a 90. I have a 90 and started with a leftover 4 bulb T5 set that I had used on my 55. I could only keep the most basic, low light corals like zoas, leathers and mushrooms. Everything else starved from lack of light. You will need to get better lights if you want to keep more corals. I ended up going with the Current Nova Extreme Pro T5s, and they've been great.
