This very well could go in the n00b section as well but... which color ecoxotic should I get to make my colors pop?

I'm currently running the 12 LED DIY kit from RapidLED with 6 white and 5 blue (one went out) over a softie and lps tank... frogspawn, keyna tree, ricordea, mushrooms and zoa. If my question is too vague, out of the color options, what color will produce what effect?

Ecoxotic carries:

453nm Actinic Blue
8K White/453nm Blue
8K White, 403nm UV
Magenta
12K White/Magenta
445nm Royal Blue
445nm Royal Blue/12K White
453nm Blue/Magenta.

Thanks in advance.

I think the royal blue and 12k white will do just the trick

I have half blue 453/half white. Very pleased with the color of my reef tank. Removed all other lighting except my Stunners now. Corals are all thriving. ZERO nuisance algae, very little heat. Good luck.

Royal Blue will do, im thinking about ordering a strip from drs foster and smith to supplement my mh. Blue/actinic is what will make the colors pop out in corals.

Yeah, I'm actually at the dr foster site now since they are on sale.. but after posting I got veto'd and i'm going to have to wait... maybe better off until i can just build the fixture i want.
