Reef Light timing cycle

Just purchased new lighting for my 20 gal. 65 Watt 10k with 65 watt Actinic and lunar lights. Not knowing what a normal timing cycle is for a reef tank, I was hoping to get some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do I leave the dat light bulbs on with the Actinic lights? or do they go on at different time? Do I leave the Lunar lights on all night? etc.

People usually have their actinics turn on an hour or 2 before the daylight bulbs, then run both together for 8-10 hours then turn off the daylights and run the actinics alone for another hour or 2.
