The actinic is awesome, more pop during d/d that I used to have. The blue+ is always good. The coral+ are really nice opposed to the two 10k's I had. Not thrilled with the purple+ it's a really violet/red purple, guess I was expecting more of a blue purple. All in all very happy, hope to see some improved growth as well 
I had the same initial reaction to the Purple+. Mine has been better now that most of the cyano fibers are out of my water column. I also found it mellowed out when I raised my light a little. I was shocked at how much "whiter" the purple+ makes the tank look. I think it takes a little time to burn in too. I've still got those older bulbs for you, so you can try popping another Blue+ in and see if you like it.

Ya I was thinking they'll prob take a few days to burn in. Still have my old bulbs so I could still play around a bit more with the colors. Also installed two new fans, one burned out a while back and the other was just as old. Only $15 each.
I wonder how much the Purple from your Coral+ is affecting the overall purple. I dont have any concern with my Purple+. Maybe the Coral Plus puts the amount of Purple over the top. Maybe you would be fine with another Blue+ instead of the Purple Plus+. Just ideas.
I love the color I get with....
