I was on ebay and amazon before I found a set, which I then went to the distributers website directly. I use Ocean revive which was listed a few places, so I picked up it up from their website.

Most people use 100% blues and anywhere from 25% to 75% whites depending on what they are growing and personal color rendition preference. I say give them the least amount of white % so the colors fluorescence nicely with the blues, just as long as they grow right?
Anyway, they have a PAR output map on this link.

Becareful with those 90 degree lenses. You will fry your corals if you don't acclimate them slowly.

it trial and error see how your corals are reacting with the diff intensity....

I have 3 of the Chinese versions of the Photon 16s on my 125 and I'm running them at 40% 30 white. the corals I have seem to be coloring up slowly. I can's see the need to have them any higher than that.

I max out blues and add white till the color temp looks good. Think whites are about 40%

Agree with what most said... They are all different and you have to figure yours out accordingly.
