Quick new to hobby question

I have a coralife 24" aqualight pro which is running 2 65 watt 420-460 combo actinics PCs with a 150 Metal Halide.

Is it nessary to have the actinics on while the halide is on is there a benefit. Is it nessary for button polyps and zoas ..... thats all thats in there at this time.

could I just turn on the actinics for 2 hours before the MH and then turn them off while the MHs running and then turn the actinics back on for 2 hours after MHs turn off? in interest of saving energy costs.

Thanks for any help,
Jason
