    Look on i think reef central through google. Someone took the factory junk ones out, utilized the factory holes and had new leds poke through. Super clean and not too expensive

    Agree, for making corals pop Violet/UV and royal blue would do the trick nicely.
    Just FYI there is a coupon code good for 10% off from LEDgroupbuy.com in the members section under great deal, power buys, etc. Should be good until the 31st of this month.

    I was thinking of doing the 6 led solderless retrofit kit from rapid led. I was going to switch out the colors for UV and violet with blue moon lights. And get another driver to control the moonlight separately and get the controller for dimability
