Any suggestions on a good lighting schedule? I can’t change the percentages of blues/whites/reds or at least I don’t think I can because I have the coral life biocube 32. Anyway, I have my pinks on from 10am - 11am, whites from 11am - 5pm, pinks from 5pm - 6pm and then blues from 6pm - 11pm and then lights out till 10am.

I am not familiar with your lights. I do 12 hours of lights in my main display. I run Radions and t5s. I do half of the day with all blues and whites and then the last half the day with all the blues plus t5s. With your light I would probably try Blue and White for 8-10 hours a day and see how that works and then adjust if necessary. Really depends upon how strong they are, you don't want to bleach anything out.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
