It would be interesting share our experience and maybe share PAR scheme here. I have worked out a PAR scheme which fit my aquarium and corals, and thus do not want to run for instance Bali, as you can not do any adjustments.
We all know the individuality of every aquarium and one if the major advantages of this nice lamp is to adjust everything. Im ny case i think my program is quite similar to Bali, and Hawaii, but much less green. In my experience green colour will give a little dash appearance and you should be careful with too much green light. Green has no effect on photosynthesis so there is no biological benefits.
Red is very good for CRI, and give a natural and warm look to the aquarium. But too much red have been showed in studies given bleaching..but i think it is no risk here as it is only two leds of this colour. i have the red at the same level as the white, and the blue is approx 25% higher than white.
In the hawaii programme it is very much green and in the morning and evening very mucg red, which will give som odd appearance, as i think when the lamp run at low power, this colour will not blend so good.

So, let us share our expoerience concerning our different PAR scheme.:-)
I have red some studies that it is tghe blue ledīs which favour coloration, expecially pink colors, but probably all colors:-)...

i think this lamp and maybe my par scheme, has given a great result to my coral colours, growth...and calcareous algue as well:-)!

Great lamp!!
