    any where for 8 - 12 hrs pending how long you want your lights running... I would if possiable with that light system.. is to cycle them on first with actinic's for 30 min then daylights... or all lights on .. then daylights off.. then 30 min later cycle off actinics...

    Keep in mind just idea's


    Best of Luck...
