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.
