I'm planning on adding a single T5 on the front and back of my SB Reef light. I was planning on going with the blue plus and coral plus. Any thoughts on how that will work out? Any problems with blending the light? The T5s with essentially be flush with the front and back of the SBs.
 
I’d just use coral+ that way you can reduce spectral differences front and back. You’ll have roughly the same par either way but the coral+ will provide that 625 nm bump the LEDs are lacking for chlorophyll b’s secondary peak
