Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has had success with these lights and what settings you have for each color? I have heard that depending on how deep your tank is they may not be able to support LPS and Anemone's. I have a 55g which is 20-21" deep. I have my daytime lights set at 100% Blue, 50% White, 35% Red, and 30% Green. If I wanted to increase PAR should I increase these values? Let me know what you think!

These fixtures use 0.5 watt leds and therefore have somewhat less ability to penetrate water compared to fixtures with 2.5 watt, 3.0 watt and 5.0 watt leds.

I have a Current Orbit system on my temporary holding tank for things I collect when I go snorkeling. On a shallow 10g tank I run it at full power and my PAR meter says it's still not as good as my 2.5 watt fixture on a 40g, 20" deep tank.
