Lighting schedule and intensity question

[W0terMoist]

I have a red sea 90 LED. I want to run a 12 hour schedule for my coral, currently at 11 hours. Ramp up time from 0% to 100% is three hours, 6 hours of full intensity, two hours ramp down.

How long would you recommend to have maximum intensity? Ramp up and down time for Light will be a symmetrical, simple, smooth line going from 0% to 100%.

In the wild, 100% midday sun is strong for about 4 hours. The 2 hours before and after can be fairly strong as well. Corals usually can tolerate 8 hours of full light.
