    you will probably get a bit of an algae cycle, but it is doable. you will need to run carbon if you arent and change it out often. you will also need to do some extra water changing and run you skimmer a bit wet until things settle down.

    My corals were used to LEDS already and I have been running my Vegas at a high %,, white in the 60-70 range and blues in the 80-90 range... I have been lowering them a bit every week and getting much better color from my corals.. I will probably settle in the high 50s for white and in the 70-80 range for blues.. greens and reds always stay about 10% below whites

    Exactly how I had my sols, usually white was 30% less then the blues...... Better color that way.


    I temporarily got one of my Vegas up last night...... It's about 8-10" awl, my opinions soon.... I kept the settings the same as my sols but left the greens and red below 20% until I figure this all out...
