okay looked all over reefcentral I have 3 50/50 blue white 60watt dimmable cree set ups to get started due I run them say 8hr a day and turn the power up slow or 4 hr and then and more hours ? would think run the blue 8hr and the white 6hr? what % due you run yours at? ( brand is starkled - eshine )

Really depends on your system. My light is only 24 LEDs but my Blue come on at 2pm and ramp up over an hour to 40% and the whites come on at 3pm and ramp up to 20% over an hour. Whites start to ramp down at 9pm and blues start to ramp down at 10pm.

I am only keeping the LEDs so low because it is a new tank and the corals are used to T5 so I don't want to over power them right away.
