I have a 440watt VHO and 500 watt MH. I run the VHO 12 hours per day and the MH 4-6 hours per day. I have the ability to turn one set of VHO bulbs off and leave the others one longer if I choose.

8AM - 10PM - first set of lights (PC)
10AM - 9PM - Second set of lights (PC)
11AM - 8PM - MH'S 400W each.
10PM - 1:30AM moon lights.
So I do have some time where there is total darkness, but remember in the ocean because of the moon ...its rarely ever truely DEAD dark.
