    I finished my RapidLED build with 24 royal blue, 12 neutral white, 2 cool white, 6 violet UV, 2 green, and 2 red. My tank is a 75g with mostly LPS and a few SPS (monti cap, acro, and pink birds nest). I currently have the blues and UV at 75% intensity, whites at 25%, and remaining colors at 20%. What I'm trying to figure out is what temp does this represent. 10K, 20K...??? I've had no luck researching the topic online. I've learned that more blue, less white equals a higher color temp, but how does a certain % intensity correlate to a specific color temp? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
