I've watched a good number of videos and read quite a few posts on lighting schedules for LED and T5's individually, but I've not come across a good write-up on a lighting schedule for a hybrid set-up.

I have (4x) ATI 54W T5's (2 bulbs per ballast) and (2x) Kessil A360X's on my 75 gallon mixed reef. I am running the below schedule for the Kessils. What schedule should I put the T5's on?

Color/Intensity/Violet (no red or green)

08:00 - 1/1/0
09:00 - 33/33/100
11:00 - 66/66/100
13:00 - 100/100/100
15:00 - 100/100/100
17:00 - 66/66/100
19:00 - 33/33/100
21:00 - 0/0/0
 
i also have a 75 gallon with same light setup. i run my kessils for a 12 hour period including ramp up and down. i run my t5 for 4 hours right in the middle for high noon effect. i have softies and lps right now so not much need for high par values yet.
