SPS Dominate Lighting Questions

[1bitereefer]

I have a 40 cube, with 2 Kessil a360we and 4 blue plus t5. Wondering for my new build being sps dominate how long your lighting schedule is. The plan now is to go t5 for 10 hours and led for 8 with a hour ramp up and down. I’ve also thought about doing the Kessil a for 10 with 2 hour ramp up and down and t5’s for 8. Or should I go with a 12 hour schedule. Going to let the tank age for 3-4 months without corals and a month with no lights. But want to have a plan

First want to start off by giving you a little background information about myself and the tank. I am a total noob to the reefer hobby so will be looking for help frequently. I have took the last 2 months browsing this forum for help and research. I have previously been in the African Cichlids...

Use Kessil to ramp up and down, 12 hours is fine. Use t5 for 6 to 8 hours. If it were me, I would swap out 2 blue plus with 2 coral plus. I would personally want to offer more white light.
