Pink monti cap : I see dark red

What bulbs I should change to get these colors?

I also dose Coral Snow, B-Balance, K-Balance, amino acid

Please help. Thanks

When i took out my ushio 14k and replaced with Phoenix 14k i got a much beter colour to all my corals. I dont run any actinic or supplements either. I have a pink cap that is hot hot pink too.

Back when i had mt T5 i did as other suggested and put a fiji pirple in. I seen a huge algea bloom but the purple on my cap was wicked.

I only dose vodka too i stopped zeo with this new build and havent looked back.
