    Glad it all got figured out. Did you get another typhon or get Rapid's controllers instead?

    not enough coverage.

    I have been running it for over 3 weeks now. I don't think it has coverage spread like I want it to. Is very bright in the middle and not enough on the front and back. I have this just over 6 in. above my water, I try get fit under my canopy. I DO have 80 degree and 60 degree optics on the LEDS. Should I REMOVED the OPTICS for wider spread? Will this hurt my coral?

    should i add cyan leds?

    My current set up is 1:1 white and blue. I read it say I need more blue. Other are doing 2:1 blue to white ratio. I am debating to add more leds. Can I add 12 cyan? Or 6 blue and 6 cyan? Or just 12 blue?

    Thank,
    Cane
