    Thanks, that first coral is slowly becoming my favorite. But I don't think anything will ever surpass my GARF. :)

    Thanks!


    60 % Blue
    35% White
    100% Supplemental

    I plan to get a dimmable driver for the supplemental leds

    Thanks Shin, also thank you for all the help during the build. I already purchased a dimmable driver from Rapid. I should have it installed next week. Until then I turned down the WHITE LEDs down from 45 to 35%.

    Thanks man, saving up is key. :)

    Just got some sand in the mail today, hopefully if I add small layers on top of my current sand it will stop my sand storms from my MP10s.

    Let me know what you guys think.
