Hydra 52 HD setting help

I set up a new jbj 45 yesterday and I have a hydra 52 HD. I was wondering if anybody could help out with the settings. I have a couple of coral frags that were under a max spect. So I don't know if the would need to be acclimated as much. I have it mounted 12 inches off the water right now didn't want to start to low. I'm hoping to run a mainly sps aquarium

87 blue, 83 deep blue, 25 uv, 60 violet, 40 white, 21 green, 17 red. Chech par with apogee light meter and adjust to 200 par. Lot of lfs keep t5's at around 200 pat. Adjust up for growth. Needs acclimation time to reduce bleaching.
