Okay, I have my bulbs ordered for my nova extreme pro 72" (6x36" bulbs on each side)

I ordered 8 Giesemann midday and 4 Giesemann aqua flora.

Switch 1 - controls 4 bulbs total (2 on each side....1 in front and 1 near the back on each side)

Switch 2 - Controls the 8 others (4 on each side)

To set up my siesta and both the dawn/dusk. HOw would you suggest I have my bulb configuration?

I assume the switch one with only 4 bulbs controlled will be my dawn/dusk as well as for my siesta period while switch 2 will be on for most of the day (around 9 hours I suppose).

Tank is 72x18x25 with 3" of substrate.
