Mixed reef, Looking to compare light schedules with my setup. I currently have 2 a360wes over a 350 reefer ( 47 inch tank, 75 g display) I'd like to see what other people with a similar tank size are doing. Currently my schedule is pretty lousy and all over the place.

4 hour ramp to 60 %,
1 hour of 60%
2 hours of peak 70%,
4 hour ramp down to 20% and off.
color doesn't pass 35%

I dont think I'm getting the most of the lights. Peak par under the lights 8 inches down I'm getting about 190.

Id also like to add t5s soon to combat some shadowing. Any thoughts, experiences?

Below is a pic of what I'd like to change my schedule to

Adding T5s is a great idea, these pendant style lights have typical shadowing effect due to their design limitations. I think you can ramp up the intensity a bit, and aim for 3W /G (a360s are 90W if I recall correctly) at peak
