Im not sure exactly what kind of punch your setup has, but I do know that a lot of people have been burning their coral with LEDs lately by going to hard too soon....I would start low and slowly amp it up over a period of time....

+1 on Dougsters comment, I started with my whites @ 40% and now up to 60%. Same with the length of time on, stared with shorter hrs & have increased since.

That said I think you should tone yours down a bit if your going to run at a set % for your day period.
