How do you set you display tank's light schedule to run?

I do have the lights on a little when I get home but really I try to have high light around 12:00 so on the weekends, when I have more down time, I can enjoy the tank more

My blues turn on at 7:30 which is well after I am at school, whites and other colors come on at 8:15. Whites go off at 6:30 and then blues run until 7:30. My refugium light stays on 24/7. I try and keep the schedule more at a natural schedule than at where I can enjoy it.

My light are on from 7pm to 3am. My tank also gets some natural sunlight during the day as it's next to the window....I get some extra algae but the corals seem to like It

What do u guys recommend for adding some asthetic color to the light program?
I've got 2 tuna blue kessils over the DT because trendy and look sleek . seem to be effective but I feel like the tank generally looks overly blue. And really dark when they are off

I like the blue over tanks. I have two Kessils A160 Deep Ocean Blue beside my Kessil A360 Tuna on my tank

I run my Kessil mostly on the white side, I hate that windex look

I run my actinics from 9-9, halides ramp up left to right over the tank from 1 to 7. If I get up early On the weekends and want to watch the tank I use the Apex to turn on the actinics, makes it easy.

I run 2 kessil 360 we, and have a dual t5 light for additional supplementation. used ATI bulbs, but just placed an order for KZ bulbs last night since they're on sale everywhere.
