Hello reefers!

photo_2021-12-13_14-29-36.jpg.ecff1c03721d68d9c1b8dd89bed0380b.jpg

My tank's a 2ftx1ftx1.5ft -> LxWxH (PS the photo's old).

I currently run a Zetlight QMaven 6600T for my mixed reef and it's doing decently okay. I got my hands on 2x Coral Plus T5 bulbs (39W) and wanted to try it out with my LEDs to see how it goes. But I'm concerned with it browning/bleaching out the LPSs I have :( Are there any thing I should take note of? Or of there's a lighting schedule to follow? I had intended the following: 


1. Running 1x T5 Coral Plus first, then ramping up to 2 if it suits (provided pest algae doesn't grow). 
2. Turning the lights on for a 4 hour period everyday. 

However, the question then boils down to this ... Should I run the T5 together with my daylight setting on the zetlight? or should I run the T5s in the evening, when I have a high percentage of blues in the tank?

Any advise is news to my amateur ears :D Cheers and TIA!
