A little update

Nice build. Becareful with tuning the mitras. The whites on that fixture can burn acros. I have two of them and are currently using them in conjunction with other fixtures.

The spread is awesome. Have fun!

What's your plan? What type of corals? I run the whites at 15% max... but I have other fixtures to provide the full spectrum for the corals.

Mostly sps

Cool, then just watch the intensity if the white leds. I keep mine at 15%. I recommend you start there n ramp up slowly. No more than 3-4 hours a day.

The blue white is real nice. I run it at 70% peak n ramp down.
