    Will this light schedule be ok?

    11 am- actinics on-lunars off
    12 am- whites on
    9 pm- whites off
    10 pm blues off-lunars on

    That's 9 hours of full light. Good?:)

    seems fine to me just watch your corals for any change in behavior

    I would cut it back to 10 hours with the blues/actinics and 8 of the whites. Also I would only run the lunars when you wish to observe/enjoy the tank with them on.
