Whats Your Lighting Schedule?

[icedtc]

Hey all,
So I just hung my new lights last night (2x AI Sol Super Blues) and am going to play around with all of the crazy settings on the controller tonight and wanted to see what you guys had as a lighting schedule.
Maybe I am overthinking this but here is my question:
I am thinking of running the lights for 12 hours then my fuge light for about 10 hours on the offtime of my display tank. I normally work from 8am-4pm so was thinking of having my DT lights on from Noon to Midnight.
This way I can enjoy the tank all night and on the weekends. But lets say I get some fish that require feeding 2x a day...should the lights be on when feeding? Like if i want to feed them 1 time before work then once around dinner time I just want to make sure feeding them at 7:30am without lights on won't be an issue. Not sure of a fishes sleep schedule when the lgiths are off.
Again, maybe I'm totally overthinking this so I wanted to see what you guys do for your lighting schedule.

first i have to say I'm jealous, that's a nice light. I have my lights on my reef for 10 hours, when I had PC lights I would nave the actinic on 1hr B4 and 1hr after. My new LED's don't have this option. That is perfect for you fugue on when DT off. As for special feeding needs I only feed a clip of norri in morning with lights out.

Mr. Limpid,
Thanks very much. I know the fish don't care but the shimmer effect is amazing with these lights vs my old ones. Did you do a DIY LED or just go with another brand?
Is 12 hours overkill in your opinion? Maybe I should scale it back to 10?

I only have LPS and softies so I went with the Marineland Reef LED. 12 hours depends on what type of coral you have. I was scaling back trying to keep algae down and not have the corals suffer, I found for me 10 hours worked, your tank may be different. You will have go with trial and error, especial being new LED's, you now you cant run them at 100% right away, start at 50% and work up from there. Other wise you will bleach your corals.
