Mine are

UV 90
Both blues 100
Green 10
Red 10
White 30

Doesn’t look very blue and the corals really pop.

I do have a deep tank though.
 
I run mine at the 70% from this chart

Is this what you run yours at. Is your tanks mixed reef, heavy lps or sps. I see you on here a lot and I read a lot of you post. I may try your settings.
 
The A.I. site has several downloadable light templates that you can try. And BRS has some settings that one of the popular coral farms uses as well. Here's mine. It's based off the BRS settings. I did lower some because I have 2 32HD's. It gives the pop without the blue wash.

I currently run Orpheks but in the past in the tank below, ran Hydras and had excellent results as you can see
