Have you thought of going full UV instead of near? I think the UV is something were missing in the Led light set ups and they will make your corals pop like crazy. as for the green, I wouldn't waist my time, unless you got nothing better to do
I think green will have the same results of when people were trying the red ones mixed in. lead to more algae.
