Hey guys
I recently purchased a really good and expensive set of lights(do not want to mention because I want this to be about the light schedule not the product)
I have a small amount of coral which I intend to get more and grow everything.

My question is does anyone know what kind of light schedule is best for growing? right now my tank is on a daylight schedule where my lights are on daylight for like 10 hours. I was curious if this is any good or should i go more blueish during the day with less white light?

Has there been better grown under certain light patters?
 
I have a channel t5' fixture and run 2 HO led bars.
Leds run full time. 10:30 am_11:30 pm
Channel 1 runs 11:30 am- 10:30 pm
Channel 2 runs 1:00 pm- 6:00 pm

I had good growth and over all very healthy corals.
Sps dominant
