Hello all I'm building a 72 bulb led fixture and I need help picking out colors of the LEDs. I know about the blues and whites but not to sure about the violets , reds and greens. Can you guys give me some insight

I just finished a diy led fixture, if you look at my sig you can see the leds I used. All run at 95% accept the whites, neutral is at 75% and cool is at 60% I may push them a little harder at the corals acclimate. I'm not sure about the greens and reds they don't seem to add much and I may add a couple more violets and replace a few cool whites with more royal blue.

I just got done building a 24 led fixture with 12 royal blue, 6 cool white, 2 blue, 2 green and 2 deep reds. I love the way it turned out. I'm running both drivers at about 50% and all the coral is looking better then it ever has.

I also did a build of 144 emitters over a 210 gal. I went with 6 green 6 turquoise 6 violete 6 reds. I love it just don't know about the reds cause they say that spectrum grows algae and doesn't do much for corals so I would switch them out for more violets or turquoise
