Sunlight on the home reef?

[ApocalyptiCoral]

So guys and girls just wanted to see if anyone think this could have something to do with that! Lol
My reef is primarily SPS it's a 40B with 23 different common and rare SPS species. I'm lighting with a 6-bulb t5 Korallen Zurich bulbs. My tank is about 8 feet from a large window which I open the blinds to that window at about 9am every morning while the lights turn on at 12:00

My question here is do you feel the extra sunlight along with the t5 lights schedule from 12-11 with two hours on each end of just Blues the tank with the sun is not totally direct sun but I do get a nice direct line of sun in the morning.
Wondering what the experts say about the excess light especially sunlight?

Thanks,
Dan

I'm no lighting expert, but I adjust my schedule to accommodate the sun twice a year, as my tank is surrounded by windows in a corner. Full blast of sun.
(Thats for me)

For the tank,
1/2 year it gets hit early (winter), in summer it gets hit later in the day.

Average two hours of sun either end, I cut an hour or so constantly from what I run on the frag tanks, in another room.

I don't adjust anything on mine. I get morning sun one one end of the tank, and evening sun on the other. Nothing to worry about.

If I moved my tank out two feet I probably wouldn't need lights[emoji2]......hmmmm

As long as it doesn't over heat it or generate algae, you should be ok imo.
