Hey wish I saw this sooner but you are going to bleach and burn corals with that many LED's in a BC8 without a dimmer. In my BC14 I am running 8 RB and 6 NW with a dimmer and I honestly run them at 40% with great results.

As for how you want to set them, perfect. mine goes RB NW RB NW RB NW RB with 2 rows and it is very even lighting.

But your going to love these once you get them set up. Best upgrade I have ever done on a BC

Hi,

Thanks for the input. l do have a dimmable driver, also ordered 2 extra terminal jumpers so l can run only 10 leds.

I thought maybe 12 LEDS would be more even then 10?

I have worn out stock PCs so l will have to be very careful not to scorch corals.

So, what pattern/color ratio do you recommend for 10 leds?
