Sounds very white!

Depends on your preference. I personally like a super-blue spectrum. As an experiment I'm running 2 B+ and 6 Pure Actinic then supplementing with the LEDs.

I just got the fixture so the LEDs are ramping up very slowly and at only 25%. Ultimately I want to bring the LEDs to a higher at 80 or 100% since my Actinic is relatively low PAR. This will achieve a good shimmer and incredible coloration with the corals.

That does sound pretty white. I'm currently using
B+,B+,B+,P+ LED: blues/royal blues, C+,B+,B+,B+

My old set up had 4 ati true actinic I liked the pop but i replaced it with B+ because i was afraid of not having enough PAR. I forgot the exact readings when i tested the par but with the replaced Blue plus i had higher par spread in more places.

My LED are at 45% and i'm keeping it there because of some reports that higher intensity might bleach the corals.

I would personally go half blue plus and half coral plus, and then eventually go with the blues close to maxed (ramping up over time) and the whites at a very low setting. ABS seem to wash everything out too much for my taste.
