Asking opinions from the experts!

I’m thinking I want to change my schedule somewhat…. The tank is a 180 gallon mixed reef. I do NOT want to change intensity of anything at the moment, but instead when the channels are running.

For well over a couple of years I have been running a long 2 hour ramp up and long ramp down with 100% blues and a white schedule in the middle.

I want to try @WWC (world wide corals) schedule method which is a short ramp up of 30 min with everything and then only blues for the last half. So I would be moving my whites, red and greens from mid day to first half. As shown below.

my question….
When I make a change, I normally do 5-10% for a few days. Since I am not changing intensity of any channels, do you think I can make this kind of change without ill effects?
 
Well I went ahead and made the change just now. I guess I’ll update here if anything goes south.

My plan is to push the white, red and green up together as high as I can about 10% per month.
