Correct light timing?

Hi,

I have a lamp hanging 15cm above my tank.
it has 2 white lamps I think 300Watt each then it has 4 blue lamps and 12 blue LED

the company that installed my aquarium has used this time table

Noon - 8PM - White light
8PM - midnight - Blue light
midnight - 6AM - LED
6AM - Noon - No light

My Electricity bill is getting much higher now and I changed the time table to:

2PM - 8PM - White light
8PM - midnight - Blue light
midnight - 6AM - LED
6AM - 2PM - No light

I don't have any anemones or Coral yet because the water temperature is way to high. 34C. (around 94F.)
it soon will get cooler here in Beijing, so I won't need a chiller til next year
I've already spend enough this year :rollface:

so is it really necessary to turn on those 2 big lamps without having anemones, and when having anemones, do I really need to supply 8 hours light?
or what is the best time schedule.

Cheers
