    Actually I suspect it will actually be reddish since the coral plus are pinkish purple. Your corals should be fine with it. Please post a picture of the tank with the new bulbs in.

    I would suggest you swap out the purple plus for a blue plus. The coral plus is supposed to be a mix of the blue plus, aquablue special and purple plus. Something like 50%, 40% and 10% respectively.
