I'm in the process of ordering a custom 54w LED bar made up with 18 LEDS.

Now I'm trying to decide what colour configuration to choose. I like more white/natural lighting but enjoy a bit of coral colour pop. Currently running noopsyche V3's at 50% all channels on other tanks. This will be a supplement bar for two zetlight UFO on a 3ft 90.3 Waterbox.

The configuration suggested was this
10000k 470nm 10000k 10000k 470nm 10000k 10000k 470nm 10000k 10000k 470nm 10000k 10000k 470nm 10000k 470nm 10000k 10000k

I'm just wondering if I need to include some violet or royal blue?

Maybe just play with this using the generic leds.
You can fake 10000k diodes by adding .1 royal blue to 2 8000k leds.

Latest draft. Just concerned it'll be too pink.

10000k 440nm 420nm 10000k 440nm 10000k 10000k 440nm 420nm 10000k 440nm 10000k 10000k 440nm 10000k 420nm 440nm 10000k
