Full time on after that.

How is that sounds?
Why would you complicate it like that? That's a lot of messing around with timers! For lights, I just use the cheap $8 timers that have those little tabs that you move around. So to move a tab over a half hour takes a whopping 3 seconds. To mess around with several on/off settings in a day would be a pain in the butt. Doesn't really matter how you do it though.

What kind of corals do you have? You probably don't have to take 5 weeks to make the switch.
