I have a Kessil 160we

I'm curious on what's the best way to light the tank. I've seen that the best lighting is roughly 10-14 hours of light, is the blue light included in this or should I shut the light off completely?

I've left my intensity at about half way but from everything I've seen, I'm confused on whether the blue light is okay or if I should turn it off completely during the night hours.

I run my 160 from 3-11 ramping up from 5% to 30% and then back down to 5%. I'm growing sps under it this way in a 40 breeder

At the end do you turn off the light completely?

Thank you! Everywhere I've searched they've made it seem like switching to the blue light at night is good enough
