For what it is it works great. 6 LEDs seems to be plenty for the soft and lps corals I currently have so I wouldn't add more and the 50/50 color seems to produce fairly good results. Adding more LEDs in the same area would make a better distribution as there are obvious spots in the tank that are more blue or more white but realistically it's perfect as is for what I wanted. Yes I use one driver and I wouldn't bother with adding additional drivers or dimable ones for more control with only 6 LEDs. For bigger tanks I would definitely use multiple dimable drivers for better control and features.

what kind of pump are you using for a return? do you get lots of flow with that setup?

I use a maxijet 1200 throttled back a bit so it's pretty low flow. Probably only pushing around 50GPH if that.
