I am curious of your guy's lighting schedule, I heard something about the sump lights on opposite of the DT lights. I get confused in the difference between actinincs and daylight bulbs.

i run my actinics(blue bulbs)10hrs and my daylight(white bulbs)8hrs.they say to run your sump lights opposite because it helps to prevent ph drops(i think) but some people run there sump lights 24/7

I run my 2X 250 W MHs' from 11a.m. to 7p.m. and my X dual compact antics from 2p.m. to 12a.m. and the moon lights from 12a.m. to 1a.m. I over lap the antics with the MH for 5 hrs.
