    If / when I have it to do over again,

    I'll get the dimmable, multi colored, higher Blue/white ratio lights.

    That being said, my DT is still kicking ass and taking names.... with my lights!

    I lowered my LED's about 1 inch today.
    I was getting some algae growth on the glass right at the top too!

    I pretty sure they came with 120 degree optics anyways.

    The fish noticed right away- they're settling in now.

    It looks brighter! Still a nice spread too!
    Still growing all my coral well too! Over 50 different species now.

    ** Edit 3/9/13- I'm still GLAD I bought these! For the price- can't be beat,
    It's now been a few weeks short of a year!!- OH, and I don't have to go buy any new bulbs cause it's been a year!

    Wow, these same lights, same link I got mine from,
    have gone up abourt $40 in one year! - per light!



    Now for sure the RB's with the dimmers and a few more colors are by far the better deal, even for a budget LED.

    Still relaly liking mine however.

    Currently, I have all the white lights covered with an opaque yellow, blue, or purple plastic strip and it looks pretty good!
