What time does the moon reach its apex?

I suppose you mean when the Moon reaches its highest point above the horizon. It mainly depends on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth. For example, the Full Moon is seen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. So, Full Moon is highest around midnight. At New Moon, the Moon is highest in the sky around noon, because it's near the Sun in the sky. Actually you can't usually see it then, of course, because of the Sun. So, you can see the Moon at its highest at many different times depending on the phase of the Moon (which depends on where the Moon is in its orbit).

When the sky is totally dark an you cannot see the moon?

Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."
