AI Hydra 26, 8 months old

my blues turn on at 7am, at 8am the rest of the lights start to ramp up. at 10am they are halfway on. At 1pm they are fully on. At 5pm they start to ramp down. at 8pm they are halfway down. At 10pm the lights go off but the blues stay on at 3% until mid night. midnight to 7am the tank is off completely.

should i change this?

Sounds like a light cycle that is not out of the norm, as mentioned, it's pretty rare that you don't need to scrape the glass every couple of days or so, there are so many factors causing this ie: lighting, bio load, age, cycles, phos, Ni etc levels, just have to accept this is part of the hobby as routine maintenance, not worth pulling your hair out over.
