The left side has the reds taped off so as you can see the right is brighter and more yellow and the left is more blue but less colorful. Which do you like?

I agree. The right side is brighter and more appealing to look at but what is better for the coral to grow and thrive in?
 
The right side looks more natural. Kind of looks like the sun is shining on it. I'm also wondering if the yellow is not good for the corals and may end up just growing more algae.
 
Many of the settings I see recommended have low to no red and greens.

Just a note, most of these leds get hot and placing tape on them can damage the lens or lead to a fire.
 
I can't tell a lot of difference. Post pics with the spectrums reversed with the tape on the right half of the tank. (If you can.) :)
