Good Times?

I am sure this has been asked a time or 2, but I can't find it. I currently have a 45gallon display with about 30lbs of LR, 2 Clarkii Clowns and a eel of some sort. I have a t5 39x2 light on it, it is running about 7 1/2 - 9 hours a day not exactly sure. The tank has been set up like this for about 2 years, I clean it every Friday and maintain all the stats, it is very stable. I am thinking of adding some coralline algae booster. My first question is.

1. Is adding a coralline booster a good idea? being that I want the coralline and have not got any from the LR I already added.

2. Do I need to add a solid actinic 420 light?

3. What is a good time schedule for lighting with my setup..

I am still somewhat new to this, Ive so far kept it pretty simple, basic 45 gallon tank, sump, powers heads, skimmer and regular cleaning.. Think I can move on now to corals and such..

Thank you in advance

keep your calcium, mag, and alk in check and Coraline should grow like wildfire actually more of a nuisance algae than anything, products like purple up are a waste of money and from what I have seen and read don't work anyways,
