I have 4x96 PC on a 90g standard tank.  I run from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM including about a total dusk/dawn cycle of about an hour.  It's selfish, really, as I want the lights on when I'm home, otherwise I might run shorter cycles.  I have 4 moonlights that run all night (maybe they are 24/7, don't recall).

I was one of them guys that was only running my MH's for only 6 hours.  I seen alot of new groth coming from my SPS's from doing that.  When I get my tank set back up Im going to keep the lighting the way it was.

Just got new lighting on my 65.  Still messing around with it but I have 500 w of metal halide on for eight hours a day and 192 w PC actinics on for 10 hours.  The actinics come on one hour before and shut down one hour after.  I like this schedule so far so I most likely will keep this.
