Quick light question

Just a quick question regarding the amount of time my lights are on. Lots of LPS, not too many SPS corals yet but plan of having mixed tank with a good amount of SPS.

My tanks a 3 foot cube 2 feet tall. My lights are on the following times:

2 Pure Actinic (39W) T5's: 9am - 10pm (13 hours)
2 Actinic Plus, 2 Aquablue Special (39W) T5's: 11am - 9pm (10 hours)

1 400W 10K XM SE MH with Lumanarc III: 1pm-7pm (6 hours)

Does this sound good for the lights and the timing? Could I benefit from having the halide on longer?
 
i personally would run the halide longer. I would imagine you would see some added growth with it running a bit longer.

any chance you could post a picture of your tank (or a link). I almost had a custom 36x36x18 tank made but settled for a smaller system.
 
I need to take some more recent photo's, these were a month ago, which was a few days after set up.
