Hydra 26 Newb Question

Newish to the hobby and new to leds. I’m using two hydra 26’s 12” above a 20” deep tank.

I’m using the radion lps/soft lighting program since I have no idea how to setup lights. Problem is I don’t like how blue it is, would it be fine to just raise my whites up, or should I drop the blues? Or could someone recommend a good setting for a new tank that will be mostly lps/soft with maybe a few sps down the road.

Current settings

Oh and here is a pic with those settings. Just to blue for my taste.

Yeah you are having the same problems as me. I am doing the AB+ plus and hopefully and 35% max that is one thing I hate about the light. I do not know where it is exactly at what settings and intensity.
