i got a Coralife Aqualight Power Compact Fixture With Dual Lamps, 1301-ish. It has 3 power cables (whites, actinic and Moon LED) I want to create a day cycle but im not sure how to pull that off without burning the actinic out faster. Here is what i was thinking. lighting in the morning when i wake up, lights out for 2 hours. turns back on around 3pm-11pm.
630 Actinic
7 white and actinic
830 lights out

3pm Lights on
10pm Actinic only
1030 moonlights
11 off

do you guys think this would work out?
