Blue LEDs alone honestly that’s the best thing for pure fluorescence alone. I wish I had the space in my canopy for some. But my tank is also 18” and the ati fixture takes up every inch. It’s flush with the tank as far as footprint goes. Just elevated 12” up.

I actually have my two white bulbs on the 2 bulb channel people normally use for their dawn dusk blues. My morning and night Blue period actually uses the big 6 bulb channel, and the two whites come on for 8 hours in the middle

I didn’t do this specifically to have a brighter dawn dusk, but instead to have more uniform spectral coverage from the whites rather than being dominated front, back, or ends

Might incorporate a reefbrite down the road.

I used a ramping up / dawn to dusk with the 360W but as of right now no intentions of dawn to dusk.
