with this combination, will timing of switch on the tube help in the growth of the coral eg turning on the two blue tube in early mornin and evening and all light on during the day?

The light is turned on to suit your viewing pleasure, not necessary to be in the morning cos the corals dun know when to tell day or night unless the light is on. What most of us did were to on the blue light first, maybe 1 hrs before the main light come in.

Depends on individual preference. Higher kelvin will give a more blueish tint but lower kelvin will give a good growth.
