6 bulb combo

Is this a bad bulb combo? It is what i am currently using i have them all running 8 hours a day... is it better to not have them all running all 8 hours?

:Front:
blue plus
kz 14k
aquablue special

kz fiji purple
:Back:

Also is this to much? I have the following corals:

zoa - at the bottom on a rock and is growing but looks a little washed out.

torch coral - looks good have it at the bottom in the sand.

Frogspawn - looking kinda transparent and shriveling a little also at the bottom on the sand.

Acan - low middle and seems to be doing good.

Montipora - only a day old so early to tell have it on the sand temporarily and plan to move it up in a few days.


it is a 90 gal tank.

I'm sure it will work fine. It would be a little white for my taste. Most people run their bulbs with a dawn/dusk period with blue or actinic bulbs in addition to the daytime where all bulbs are on.
