    Dim for sure that way you can control the intensity of light better! That way ya don't fry some corals! I bought the typhoon by boostled! Super easy to set up and will do sunrise sunset! Plus it's $50!

    Where do you put the multimeter probes to set the current on the solderless set? I wasn't quite sure how to do it with the plug n play sets.

    lol 48 CREE's over this tank is OVERKILL! But i will tell ya this! The POS sytem i got from reefwerks which was a modularled system failed miserably at qaulity compared to this! Rapidled's system for this needs tweaked a bit, but is really mind numbingly easy to put together, sans a puking 7 year old! i'd imagine 2 guys and a 12 pack could bust this sytem out in 2 hours or so if prepared! The boostled.com controller is awesome too! $50 and easy as heck! Probably pretty cool too, haven't read the instructions yet, because i haven't needed too!

    No problem! We will need to talk more on the phone about that. From what I understand the Drivers are preset to turn on at 11% or higher. I wish my sunrise/set was not to aggressive when it turned on/off.
