AI Sol Blue Set-Up Advice

I have 2 Sol Blues on my 120 RR, just installed this week. Running 17% white, blue 20%, super blue 23%. As this was just put on the tank, I am keeping lights low. I am slowly adding SPS, LPS and zoas from my smaller tank. Looking for recommendations on settings.
Thx
 
I use a few different built in timers set at different light intensities at different times throughout the day starting at very minimal light at 6am. I slow have them ramp up every hour till about 11 am where they are at my maximum set intensity till 1 pm. Then slowly decrease intensity till they shut off at 9. I switched from a 6 bulb t5 setup to 2 sol blues with 4 bulb t5 for supplementation. When I first set them up my max was 25% white 30%blue and 30% royal blue. I slowly turned up my max setting 5% per color bulb once a week. I currently am at 50% white. 65% blue and 65% royal blue
 
There is a member named pesto on here. He has an excel sheet he made for his sol blues. Pm him and ask him about it. He has great color and growth.
