Curious to know what schedule people have for the Lights?
i start ramping up blue at 11:00 by 12:00 my whites and blues are on.
Whites go off at 5:00pm and blues stay on till about 11:00 and start gradually dimming from 11:00-11:45

I have been thinking to lessen the hours of light... thats why i am asking what other people are doing.

In the tank i have 1 crocea clam, 2 Goniopora and 1 small Zoa. I have fish but they are not really dependent of the lights

For you Clam you want to see 200 PAR for 4-6 Hours a day.

The 450nm Royal blue would be your primary grow LED.

You could get by with less but the colour would be better as many marine organisms develop pigments to reflect excessive or unused light.
