Can you describe your diy led?
How many, which LEDs, each spectrum, etc?

Thanks a lot.
Your tank is simply AMAZING!
I asked about the led configuration because I use a cheap "black box" but I changed some of the LEDs, I also included also violet (410/420).
Also I love your white:ratio, 3:1, is definitely my next change, replace some whites to more royal blues(450).
May I ask you, for the white LEDs do you use some warm(≃3500K) whites or just cool white(≃12000K)?
I ask because I love the color looks of your FTS!
Thanks.

If you don't mind which macro algae (chaeto?) and which light (spectrum and watt and lightning period) do you use in you refugium?
It is funny and smart you use a little net to separate the refugium from the return pump! Very smart!
I ask because until now I am just using carbon dosing/siporax in sump and I feel I should try a small refugium as well. My tank also small, 60x45x50.
Thanks again.
