    the driver for my blue channel failed, forcing me to rely on my white led's and only 2 blue led's i used for moonlights.

    once i adjusted... i realized my blue's have been turned up too high for too long.

    i ordered a it2060 to replace my homemade fixture, but am running only whites in the mean time...

    i would suggest turning down your blue channel for long enough to get over the lack of POP they provide, and see what else you've been missing!

    I run my tank in the 12-14K range with my custom build LEDS. I cant adjust mine unfortunately so I get what I get. I was thinking of adding some actinic T-5's but just cant put myself to do it.
