IMO I think 24 hours is lot to keep on your lights on for. If im not mistaking lights should be on for 10-12 hours a day.
The Whites are overlapping the blues. It's not 10 plus 14. The blues start 2 hours before the whites and shuts off 2 hours after the whites.
Try Wingo... he has a par meter.

I wish I could help, but you've been the one helping me.
No problem Gabe. It's ok.
I just got a reefbrite tech and the light is sick. Ive only been turning it on when I'm looking at the tank. Wondering if I should have it on the same Lighting period as my actinics. Not sure if the light is significant enough to affect the corals.

I recently had a conversation with a fellow reefer and he told me that someone had a 6hr lighting period and his corals are doing great. Has anyone had such a short lighting period?
was told their chalices are growing big and fast. the sps is doing fine with the short lighting period. I think he said the guy had 8 bulb or 6 bulb t5s.
