    It was way too overpowering, on my tank I only run my LEDs between 25-40%.

    Since your system is bigger you might be okay. :)

    You should be okay, if not you can easily upgrade to a different driver for cheap.

    I was just talking about what more you could add to your tank with that driver.

    But I would add Blue LEDs along with the previous colors mentioned.
