Does a Kessil A80 still grow coral if I only use the blue LEDs?

I wanted to buy the A80 Tuna Blue for a 13 inch tall SPS quarantine tank.


If I make the sprectrum as blue as possible, should the blue LEDs get brighter so that the coral-growing capacity isn't impaired? (A bit like the HD feature of the AI Prime HD)

I'm concerned that if I make the spectrum too blue, the A80 won't produce enough light for SPS to grow, as the white LEDs will be basically turned off.

 

The quarantine tank is next to the desk where I work at, so a white light would be very distracting.

 

Thanks a lot for any info!

Intensity is separately controlled from spectrum so I believe regardless of chosen spectrum max intensity will be 15w.  Choose the most desirable spectrum and assume the whitest setting on max Intensity has equivalent output as the max blue setting.
