ReefBreeders Lighting Schedule - To much?

[therealkilo]

Looking for some advice, still cannot really dial in this new light.

ReefBreeders Photon 48" sitting 6" over water, maybe 7".

Attached is the lighting schedule. Is it too much?

Water params are all awesomesauce. Have a mix of SPS and LPS.

Thanks in advance!

P.S.
The reason I am posting is because of another thread where an anemone that I got about 2 months ago hides non stop. Another rose BTA sits about 1/3 of bottom tank.

I will post a picture of tank as well to show rock work and placement.

I don't have those specific lights but do run LED's over my tank about the same height as yours (fixtures are 7" to 8" over the water line). I run my royal blue and blue LED's at around 85% while my cool white LEDs run at a max of 35%. 44% does not seem too much different unless you are seeing some burning of your corals.

How tall is the tank?

Thanks Editour2, that is good to know.

The tank is a standard 55 gallon. I think its 2' tall maybe 20".

I had 2 Photon V1 fixtures (32") over a 180g tank (sps & lps) for 6 years. I ran a 4 hour midday at 90% blue and 40% white and I was very happy with how everything looked. I don't think your anemone issues are due to lighting. Anemones, especially RBTA are notorious for either being very happy and stable, or very unhappy and always moving around.

Thanks Ron. How high were your Photons from the tank water? I am using the tank stands that screw into the top and catch the sides of the tank. I think they are 6-7" high.

My Photon V1's were about 10" off the water over my old 180g reef. My new Photon V2's are 11" off the water but this tank is only 20" deep and some of the rock is quite close to the surface.

OMGosh this is so helpful. So with mine at 7-8" I should be going no more then 70-80% blue, 30% white... with a 4 midday and ramp in and out of that. Big Thanks!

I wouldn't say that you shouldn't be going more than those levels, but those levels should work pretty well, IMHO.
