Lighting Question

OK so my Oceanic 29 gal Bio Cube has three lights. One is a bright white, one is a Blue, almost like a black light, and the other is led moon lights. How long should I leave each of these on for? Do I run both the white and blue at the same time or no? I am going to buy some timers for them. The moon lights stay on all the time which kinda bugs but it doesn't hurt anything I guess.
Thanks

When you turn on your lights, the Led lights go off and when you turn off your lights, the LED lights go on.
Hope that clear.

I would do actinics(the blue light) for 10 hours a day and the 10k (white light) for 8 hours a day. Have the actinics come on an hour before the 10k and have the 10k go off an hour before the actinics. Corals can benifit and open faster from a consistant lighting schedule so id go for the timers!

Cool thank you all for the answers, my LFS guy told me that the blue is just to simulate sunrise and set and they should only be used 30 minutes before the white then 30 minutes after the white. Dunno maybe he was thinking I meant the moon lights :)
