Currently I run my lights from 9-7 with ramp up and ramp down with about 8 hours of full sun. I’m starting to add more and more sps specifically acros and want to know if i should maybe increase light time. Mixed reef currently par is not an issue as getting around 250-400 where sps will be. Just have a little bit of gha issue so a little afraid to run lights much longer. Still going thru ugly stages. Should I wait to increase light time or increase slowly over next few weeks to help sps a bit by more light time. Thanks for advice

8hrs at peak is all you need.
I run 1hr up/down on all systems.
My current 150.
