I'd try a peak at 40% and 4-6 hours and ramp up and down on an hour-long period. That said, I have no idea how the lights will compare to your MH. Did you base your DIY LED on someone else's build?

Yes, the ReefAngel wizard allows you to pick from a few different curves.

I built it myself. Based of of no other builds. Good idea? Bad? Im not sure... ha ha!

At this point l haven't mounted any lens. i do have a set of 80 degrees though.
