Would you recommend I run the reefbrite throughout the whole photo period? Seems like too much light.

To much light depends on what you are keeping.. Hard to say without a par meter either. For my tanks which are sps dominant, so it would be fine..
Honestly I would start with the led strip if it is dim-able for dusk to dawn? then hour later turn on the actinic and off a hour before lights out. The other two circuit add a blue and a white and one runs around about 8 hours and the other 3 or 4 hours if you are worried about too much light. So basically all lamps are on for 4 hours.
Plus led should not have a issue with how long they are run where t-5 does.
But like I said it really depends on what you are keeping. Sps should have no issues with lights being on longer but a chalice would.
