timing my 29

[snkbyte]

i have a 150watt halide and one 50/50 65watt power comact. i like to stay up late and watch my tank. Usually don't go to bed till 2 or 3. What would be the best schedule to put my tank on? Thanks for any input you might have.

PC on at 6pm
Halide on at 7pm
Halide off at 1am
PC off at 2am
That would give you the lights on when you want to watch. You could probably extend the hours the PCs are on, but IMO I don't think the MH should be on for more then 6-7 hours at the most.
