    I ordered a 72 led kit from aquastyles it came with bridgelux leds, I chose 40RB 8 6.5k white and 24 10k white and two large black heatsinks. It is working great so far I am just not sure on how much power to put to them. Right now I only have them running at about 60% for the RB and about 50% for the Whites. I switched from 250 Halides and am wondering if I can turn up the intensity. Im just nervous about scorching my corals. I have all LPS and some clams and anemones. Here are some pictures in case anyone is curious, however my camera and camera skills are lacking.

    any advice? I am running the royal blue from 3:30pm to 12:00am and the whites from 5:00 pm to 11:00pm. Should I run them longer? I'm used to halide that I ran for only 7 hours a day.
