Lighting Question

I just started a 65g tank, 20g sump, skimmer, reactor, no fish or corals yet, just live rock and sand. Added Tigger Pods, and bacteria to start tank, running at 76.9 deg. I'm running 2 T5's white, and 2 strips of blue led's, looking for a lighting schedule to start tank with to limit algae growth.

Thanks all!
