Still learning, just got a new led fixture (Orbit Marine Led) on a 30 gallon bow front. T5's were great, bulb changes irked me and ballast went out, so new light decided to try LED. I was wandering if I should run my new light at the se times as the old one. The old one was a 4 bulb coralife t5 with 2 actinic and two 10k ati bulbs, led moonlight.

Yup, no reason to change your lighting period. You might want to watch your intensity though, your corals may object to the high intensity over the old T5s. May dim them out a bit, them bring them up over a few weeks.
