    Lol yeah I went to your build thread and only then I realized that rapidleds was marked across the pics. I'll have a look at them since they seem quite nice

    I heard though that certain colors will promote algae. Have you had any problems with it since installing those variants of LEDs?

    Ah ok. Are you attributing it to the intensity of lights, color, or something that is present in the water column.

    Btw thanks for the quick replies.

    From what it looked like a coral died and the GHA was on top of it. My phosphates are at 0 but Silicates are at 1.5-4.0.

    My lights stay around 50% white and 39% Blue.

    Ah. Well I'll give it a try as well. I'll be buying some tonight. I originally bought my heatsink at heatsinkUSA. Where did you buy yours?
