I have a Nuvo 40 and would like to achieve an SPS dominant tank. For lighting I am doing a T5 hybrid. Aquatic Life T5 (four bulb) and the Kessil A360x.
I’ve attached pictures of my current settings (it’s a lot of pictures, hopefully they show up in order)
Is this too much white light? I only have two small frags currently. My green birdsnest doesn’t have nearly the polyp extension it had before I bought it. I can provide many more details, just not sure where to begin.

I run my Kessil A360xTB's at full blue. Color never exceeds 5, Intensity peaks at 87%

I made a custom program to ramp up and down over the course of 90 minutes on each end.

This is what I found best for my 55g tank. I have recently upgraded to a new 135g, and added 2 more KTBs, running the same program. It is too soon to tell if I need to tweak it any.
 
It’s not too much white. I run mine 8 hours at 100% color (full white) with red green and violet at 60% as well as 60% intensity.
 
You want your violet channel to match your intensity, red and green are for aesthetics. You will always have enough blue spectrum in your settings (this is part of Kessil logic), so you're tuning the visual color to your preference. There's no bad setting(s) for coral with Kessil logic, but you need to utilize the violet channel as much as possible.
 
Kessil logic. Put whatever floats your eyes. They will grow coral regardless. That is one of the benefits of Kessil's array.
 
I've got the same tank, same hybrid light setup. I have an all Euphyllia tank so I only run 2 of the bulbs in my T5 and a360 at 30% max. Let me know if u want more details on my schedule.
