Okay, so with 96 LED's installed and running, I figured I would start a thread with what I'm specifically doing with them. I have a 2-1 ratio of blue to white at the moment. Mostly white runs from 10am-5pm, and full blues run from 3pm to 9pm.
I just ordered up 5 each of 3W CREE - CYAN, UV, RED. I'll hook them up to a power source and sort of experiment with what those bulbs do to the tank (if anything).
As it is, the Roal Blues act like blacklights for mostly green and some yellows. Blues and reds are very subdued. So we'll see what kind of a mix I get. I have a video of the LED construction, maybe I can get off my ass and actually put it together so it makes some sense.
Corals definitely had an acclimation period. I should have moved more SPS to the bottom of the tank, or it might have been an idea to put a mesh or screen over the tank for a period. But, so far nothing died, definitely established colonies were affected less than 1" frags.
So stay tuned, and we'll see what I can come up with in terms of what the new bulbs can do to the tank.
