Light schedule and percentage help

[CLYRIC]

I have a standard 55 gallon with 2 100w nicrew lights. Currently I run it the lighs at : 6 am turn on and ramp up to 5% white/15% blue at 7 am. Then ramp up to 20%white/90% blue at 8 am. Then it slowly goes down over time to 20% white/80% blue at 6 pm. Then it goes down over time to 0% white/ 5% blue at 8 pm. And then goes down to turning off at 10 pm.

Does this sound good? Or is too much? Any suggestions? The tank has mostly LPS/Soft corals

Just depends, you'll have to watch and see if everyone likes it. And also wait and see about possible algae issues.

Generally your light schedule should not be longer then 12h. When you look at schedule of Big Coral Farms, they usualy have short ramp time of about 1h.
I would also decrease white spectrum. Best for me is 8-12%. Your corals will not grow faster with photoperiod too long.

What about the % of blue light? Is 90% enough at the peak? Or is it too much?
