SPS DIY LED Set-Ups

[Msleckro]

I was wondering what color combination of LED's everyone is using for their SPS tank? Also is it worth it to get the UV LED's?

I personally have 18 CREE XP-G cool whites, and 36 CREE XP-E Royal Blues. I've had good growth, but i'm looking to see what everyone else has experienced. I feel my colors could be better.

I have 50/50 ratio but I adjust/dim one or the other but I keep it more crisp blue than white. I love the dimming capability.

I'm testing out 108 LED setup atm on my 180gallon

I run 6 green 6 cyan 12 uv 6 blue and rest is CW/NW:RB (About 1:1:1 color:white:blue)

I was happy with my colors and growth prior to changing, then again, it's only been a week or so, and I'm still tweaking intensities and color with the profilux.. I used to have 120 led CW:RB 1:1 on 50% strength on the profilux. Not sure how strong the LEDs are, but I feel they are very very strong as when I try to increase power, corals just photoinhibits and bleach out almost over night.

I'd like to know how you do with the colored LED's. I want to no if it really makes a difference.
