Evergrow/Reef Breeders Custom Lighting Schedule

Thoughts? I'm interested in hearing what other people do with their programmables......

My schedule:  1200 - 2100 100/75

Why so much blue? Is it healthy to effectively double down on blue vs white?

My light configuration is 12 - 14k at 100% on each channel.  My current running configuration of 100% Blue and 75% White looks like 18k.

That was more directed at Swimmatte. He's rocking like 3 times blue vs white per hour. He's 70 blue 21 white right now. I get that people like the blue look, but isn't this a little extreme or should I adjust my blues up to get more coral growth. Right now I am 45 blue 40 white, but I need to adjust stronger as I'm also breaking in the LED.
