20g Reef Lighting

[NicksTanks223]

I set up my 20g Reef tank a little over a month ago. About a 2 weeks ago I added 2 clownfish. My water has been good and still is good. Yesterday I added 2 corals. I do admit I forgot the name of one of them, but the other one is some type of zoanthid. Everything is going good and I have lots of algae growing on the rocks and glass. There is also hair algae growing on the rocks closest to the light. I have been running it on a inconsistent schedule because I don’t have a timer for it yet. Probably about 12-14 hours a day. I usually run just white lights during the day and then blue/purple lights at night. The lights I have are LED and they came with the tank. It’s the JBJ 20g Cubey. Is there any specific colors I should run and for how long? And I need to know some basic things for lighting, how long, what colors are good.

Photosynthetic corals require mainly the blue/violet peaks for their process.
A small amount of the red/green colors (in some cases controlled individually and in some cases mixed with white)
In my case I use 100% blue/violet and 20% white/red/green for 9 hours per day, the rest dark.

I notice you are near Orlando (somewhat)...I'm jealous regards how close you are to this LFS! https://worldwidecorals.com
