Sounds like you are on the right track all the way around.
Most people start the actinics a short while before the main lights so as not to startle everything in the tank every day. They may also do the reverse at night to ramp the lighting back down. You will want to run the actinics along with the daylights for the best color rendering. I would shoot for the main lights to be on about 10 hours a day with an hour of actinic before and after for 12 hours total.
You can have the moonlights come on any time you wish as they dont really do anything for the tank. They are more for our viewing pleasure. They dont need to run all night either, I wouldn't bother keeping them on much after you've gone to bed.
Ohhh and WELCOME!
