I'm sure this has been covered but I couldn't find it. I have two of these mounted 14 inches above my tank, I could go a bit higher but not much. 75 gallon rimless 24" deep. Anyone have experience with what I should have my settings at? I am currently running 100% blue. And approx 30% white from 10:30 am until 7:30 pm and then just the blues which I turn down to 50%.

As I understand it you're leaving the blues on at 50% all night, is that correct? If so that's way too much blue light at night. As far as your day time settings some corals will like it some won't so try to get corals already growing under similar lighting levles.
 
No, sorry I leave at 50% until I got to bed and slowly ramp them down as the evening goes on. Off at 9:30
