Here is my first LED build for my 28 Gallon Saltwater tank. I ended up running the Blue @ 50% and the white @ 30%. NOTE: Do not run the LED's at 100% on most setups unless you want to bleach your corals or see poor growth. A PAR meter would take the guessing game out of the intensity settings but that wasn't and still isn't in my budget.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions.
