I have 75g, 9 fish, 50lb live rock and some new soft corals. My lighting
consists of 2X65w 50/50 actinic/10000K, 2X65w actinic, 2X65w 10000K, all
48inches. The 50/50 are in one fixture with 1 switch, the other 4 are in
one fixture with 2 switches. If I put these lights on timers, how long
should I leave each on?

Turn the 1st two on for a total of 11 hrs

And all 6 for 9 hrs.

eg 2 lights on at 9 am then the other 4 at 10 am

then 4 off at 7 pm and the original two lights off at 8 pm

Thanks for the info. Would indirect sunlight have any effect, my tank is
near a window but does not get any direct sunlight.
