Lighting when your home is preferable as well. As with Eric most of my fish are up about 9-10am when the room gets decent light from outside.
BTW her is my schedule
1st actinic 13:30- 21:30
10k t5 (was actinic until yesterday): 13:45 - 21:15
MH: 14:00 - 21:00

But based on the thread and the majority of people (73% combined right now) between 8-12 hours, I am probably going to increase everything to: 10 hour cycle
1st actinic 12:00 - 22:00
10k t5 (was actinic until yesterday): 12:30 - 21:30
MH: 13:30 - 21:00

Those military/european times sound like controllerspeak to me. Did you get a new fancy controller without telling anyone?

Yeah I run my light for when Im there, 4pm - 12am actinics. Daylights run from 5:30pm-10:30pm, this way every thing is nice and open when I come home, and winds down when I go to bed!!

Hehe, no controller I was just being lazy, did not feel like typing am/pm. When I realized I was being ridiculous, I just figured I would stay that way....
