I have 75 gallon tank with 6 bulb Ati sunpower dimmable with a supplemental 48 inch super actinic led strip w\ uv from buildmyled. 12" ABWL , Schedule is the led strip comes on at 11:30 am ramps up to 55% then ramps down shuts off 11:30pm
Channel 2 with 4 blue+ come on at 1:30pm at 100% and shut off 10:30pm
Channel 1 with 1 Fiji purp and 1 coral+ come on at 3:30 at 40% and shut off at 7:30 pm.
Is this too much?

No. Unless it's a FOWLR.

Acclimmation is far more important than total light. SPS take a long time to fully acclimate to significant increases in LED lighting.

What kinds of coral are you keeping?
