evergrow light spectrum help

[bcoco]

here is basic confutation on an evergrow sa500 light. looks like maybe too many whites? they are 90 degree lenses except 120 degree on Red,Green and Violet. any input would be appreciated. its a 4 foot light 224w to go over 75 gallon mixed reef tank. Want to get it right the first time.
thanks

I'd pass on that one. Too few violets. Not enough neutral/warm white in the mix. 450 Royal Blues would be preferable visually. There are many others out there on Amazon and eBay by evergrow that have a much better layout

they will configure it to whatever, i was thinking of adding 4 more 410's 6 450's
in place of 10-12k's

I wouldn't personally use any 12k whites at all. And would use exclusively 6500k neutral whites and instead of reds I would use warm whites. Probably 6 of them. And I would use 10-12 420 nm violets. I would also do a 3:1 mix of 450 nm to 470 nm. Again everyone has different tastes but that is what I would do
