From what I've been reading even really 'low' animals/living things respond better to a more natural light cycle (even simple stuff like phytoplankton!).
I just browsed through the new issue of Coral Magazine and as soon as I get off the computer I'll adjust my light cycle down.
They recommend 8-10 hours of main lights and a longer cycle (12-14) of actinics/blues to increase viewing time. Right now I have it at 12 hours for main lights and 14 hours for actinics.
Moonlights would give you more viewing time as well while still allowing your animals to rest.
You'll see stuff you'd rarely see with main lights on.
