LED lighting

I have had a photon 48" from reef breeders over my tank for about 3 months. Right now I have the intensity at 50% blue and 35% white for about 3 hours in the afternoon with a gradual increase before and decrease after for about 12 hrs total. I would like to add a purple LTA and I am wondering if I should lower the intensity any during acclimation and if so how much? I am actually still working on raising the intensity, but I have been going super slow so I wouldn't fry any of the corals already in my tank. What would be a good final intensity and duration that would keep the LTA happy along with my other corals? This is my first LED fixture. I have always used either MH or T5 in the past.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for responding justinky. How high in intensity do you keep your LEDS and how long at the max? I was thinking I would eventually end up somewhere between 60-70% blue and white at about 35% for 3-4 hours max.

Thanks.
