Then if you are still cycling it doesn't matter what lights you have in your tank. You could not even have light and it would be fine...
Moon lights reduce the stress of fish at night plus can encourage spawning (or so I've heard). They eliminate the total darkness at night and helps the fish hide better.
No need to yell. The question was very relevant... If you had exotic corals then I would say that you need to get some actinics and that the 10000k bulbs might not be enough if they had already acclimated to the increased UV under 50/50 bulbs or actinics. But since you don't have anything in your tank, you could use a table lamp and be fine.
