Okay, so I have two reefbreeder photon 16s over a 55 gallon mainly sps tank. I have been currently reading a lot about photoperiod and have been experimenting with the blue/white configuration. My sps growth is good and I'm quite happy with it. I'm currently trying to maximize color as well (yellow, pinks, reds). Can someone who has these type of lights chime in with any feedback. Does this look okay? Anything I should change? Thanks in advance!

My schedule looks like this:
B-W
11:30: 3-0
12:00: 3-0
12:30: 8-0
13:00: 8-0
13:30: 15-0
14:00: 15-0
14:30: 20-3
15:00: 30-10
15:30: 80-50
16:00: 85-55
16:30: 85-55
17:00: 85-55
17:30: 85-55
18:00: 85-55

19:30: 20-3

I have a Photon 48. My peak is nearly the same as yours, but I run a much, much longer photo period. It starts around 9:30a, peaks around 2pm, and ramps down after 5, until 8:30p, and then it's night lights til 1 or 2. Mostly SPS in a Zeovit based 90.
