    Yes! More pictures please! A lot of people burn some corals with LEDs. Especially when they arent using dimmable drivers. Switching will definitely be worth it.

    Nice pic!

    I just converted over my UV/Cyan/Violet & Greens over to a dimmable driver. It makes a HUGE difference.

    I love the build, everything looks so clean.

    I did get the optics and driver installed, the light spread is much, much better. The color is more of a crisp white than before, now that the UV/blues are dialed back to probably around 60%... We shall see how the corals react.

    Haha, just a little fun and games.

    I saw that, your tank is looking great with the full spectrum!

    It it amazing just the visual difference. Tank is less blue now, more of a crisp white, I'm sure the corals will appreciate not having to worry about sunburns, so to speak.

    It's been a while. Work has occupied most of my time, along with family. I aplogize for not taking better pics, but I'm experiencing a diatom bloom from adding a larger pump for the bio pellets. When it clears I will post a proper clean tank update. :p
