DIY LED for 20g
Im wanting to build an LED lighting system for my 20H, 24x18x12. It will be a mixed reef. How many LEDs should I run and what ratio of white and blue should I use? I want a look in between 15000k and 20000k.

Since i already have this thread here, what kind of controller is used for dimming the leds? Is this controlled by Aquacontroller or others like that, or one specifically for the LEDs?

for dimming LEDs you can use a controller or you can get a dimmable driver and make circuit(i havent dont a ton of research on this so i dont make the specifics) that changes the voltage going into the driver which dims the LEDs
