Hello, All I need is help setting up AI Hydra Lights.

I have 2 AI Hydra 26 in my 30 gal tank. Length 30.625 IN Height 19 IN Width 13.25 IN

And now my HD Hydra settings are this. Please check the attachment.

I run it from 10 am to 10 pm, 12 hours daily. I heard people saying. blue light is not suitable for corals. Please guide me on this.

I have full of LPS torches and scaly. Torches are in the middle height, and scoly are on sand.

Will appreciate the help

I seriously doubt "blue light is bad" holds up. One of the very few colors coming through in nature is blue. I'd recommend you to have a ramp up and ramp down and not a sudden shock like that. I used david saxby his lighting, but since his tanks have more depth I just took his light schedule and reduced the lighting a bit.
 
Excuse me.....

Blue light is not fine. Blue light is system requirement. ;)

Yes, we can debate, if we must, how much blue, white, red, etc, but, without blue at specific range of spectrum, you really cannot grow much.
