Ok I have my 90 gallon Reef Set up and cycling now and I have the option of controlling my acidic bulbs different then my halides.

My question is should they both be on at the same time and off at the same time of should the acidic come on an hour before the halides and stay on and hour after the halides are off?
I think that is what my LFS does but I have to ask them... Right now I have them both come on for 8 hours and then my blue moon leds are on the rest of the time....
 
if you have your actinics on and hour before and after your halides it will add a dawn/dusk effect.
however, if you dont, it isnt like your corals are going to die.
