I just got a Nova Extreme Pro T5 fixture in for my 110g and I am wondering the best route for my lighting schedule. four 460nm Actinic Blue on 1 timer and four Daylight 10,000K on another timer. Right now I have them set as....

Actnics come on at 10am and go off at 12a.m.
10,000K come on at 11am and go off at 8pm
Actnics come back on at 6pm and go off at 8pm.
Moonlight 24hrs a day

I am wondering if I should keep the actnics on all day long?
Or if this is a good lighting schedule.

The tank will be mostly LPS and Softies with a few SPS.
 
I would cut back the daylights by an hour, and then run the actinics all day. Probably from 10-10 at the longest.
Hope this helps.
