I really want my tank to have more of a blue to bring out more of the colors but nervous that using more blue will decline the health of my acros. I'm running AI sol blues and at the peak I have blues at 100 and whites at 90. Looking to make it more of 100 blue and 70 or even 60 white. Will this effect my acros in a negative way?
 
I run my photons at 60% blue and 15% whites/colors at peak, ramping up then down over 13hrs.my tank is~ 98% acros and they love it.
 
AI does not bin their lights. The Cool Whites can be between 5-8K depending on the lot. This can lead to a yellow look with the whites on at 100%.

That said the Royal Blue is your primary grow spectrum.

Acros do best with a peak photo period of 4-6 hours a day. If you can program your Whites to be 100% while you are at work and dial them back in the evening to improve your viewing.
