I am starting a project for my 29g BC. I am using 12 Cool White Cree XP-G R5 LEDs and
12 Royal Blue Cree XP-E LEDs driven by 2 Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable drivers. My question is I have always read that the internal pot of the driver to be set to 750 MA. I have also read some people set the internal pot to 1000MA. I am using a 10v power source for the dimmer. So should I set it to 750 MA or 1000 MA?

I had mine set at 750. I was told you will get shorter life span running at 1,000. Maybe someone else can chime in.
BTW Your tank must be lighting up your house with those CREE's. awesome leds. What else do you have done on that 29BC?

Thanks for the info. I think running those led's at 750ma should be good enough for the BC. I am going to replace the stock fan other than that nothing much. Removed the tab between the first and second partition and replaced the return pump with MJ 1200. Tired of the pc lamps, have to replace them so often.
