These LED's just aren't cutting it. Or - are they?

Believe it not white do some good to the corals since it has some red and green in the light. The blues it believe have some .

The reason why cheaper led fixtures do well is because they're not as intense or strong.

What is the max you run your white and blues.

If you turn blue up too high that can bleach coral aswell....
