If you have any other questions feel free to ask! I'd love to answer them. Not sure what the deal is but my first thread was deleted. So I hope I can get this site figured out and some friends in the reefing community!

Nice set up. It looks close to mine. I will have had mine two years in November. Do yourself a favor and up grade the lights. I went with Steve's leds, couldn't be happier. Also got a chiller off eBay.

How did you dial in the Steve's LED's? I've never been successful with mine and I'm sure it's because lack of knowledge on my part.
 
By dialing in you mean what percentage I have each light channel set at. The whites are about 65% and the blues are 85%. I run a 7.5 light schedule with a two hour ramp up and down. Come on at 2 and go off at 9:30. Actually the whites are totally off an hour earlier than the blues.
I acclimated the lights 5% at a time over a few months to get where they are now. All of my corals and clam love em.
