the cyan led is 490 to 520 range, imo- a must to keep colors of shallow water coral.
remember there is a big difference between plants and coral, plants= lots of red coral= lots of blue. if I were to change anything it would be the red to orange

Well, that is only true for plants when they are in the flowering stage- That is when red light is important. It signals that the growing season is coming to an end and they better hurry up and flower.
Otherwise, during vegetative growth, blue is most important for plants.
Maybe the greens diodes are for aesthetics and cause the coral to be more colorful somehow.

I just did a quick search and it seems that green light is just for aesthetics (increasing florescence) and was not useful for photosynthesis. Since aesthetics are so much a part of reef keeping, it seems like green lights have some potential. reefbuilders.com/2010/04/06/green-light-fluorescence-red/ |

Yeah I wanted to have the red changed to Orange when we bought them but couldn't because it was a group order.
But it's the purple/uv I want to change I know everyone says they're fine but I've seen others that aren't this dim and would just like to change it for piece of mind.
