I find that with only using white and blue LEDs the colors in many corals are not spectacular by any means, you could add other color LEDs for better results but preforming this experimentation isn't as easy as changing a T5 or MH bulbs.

Also pictures can be misleading, I can take a picture of any coral under any light and make it look way better than in person. Cameras can adjust color and light balance much better than our eyes.

The spread is great, ...

Color blending is flawless, you can't see any disco effect at all, even will all colors active...
Color is awesome, you can't go wrong as you can set to any spectrum you want.
sorry, I couldn't resist! Excuse me now while I go buy some new LEDs for my tank..
