They are fully adjustable to any color temp. I have two full sets, so I can adjust to have two different colors going at one time. I currently am running royal blue and pink. Looks good with the 14K halide running. Provides some good color pop, but are pretty much useless at growing corals. The mushroom was shrivled and looking nasty under the LED's, and I noticed that the coraline was turning white in some places. Now with the halide back over everything is looking awesome.

I wouldn't buy these for anything other than making some colors come out.

I actually bought these because I have an alternate use for them after the tank. I'm using them as their desinged purpose, which is under cabinet lighting.

Skimmer is now up and running. Went with the Tunze 9002. Love it. It's already pulling decent skimmate.




Also, my kenya tree somehow managed to drop a couple babies that landed in the sump, and with the fuge lighting for my macro, they are actually growing well lol.



And a FTS



Also have a massive white sponge growing on the underside of one of the rocks. Best pic I could get with my phone.
