I have the LED's set so the Blue are at 100% from 9am - 9pm, CW / NW HEW set at 50% from 9am - 6pm, CW XPG'S set at 10% to 100% back to 10% from 9 am - 3 pm & Red / Green set at 10% from 11am - 6pm ATM.

I will be playing with them over the next week to get thing just the way I want them but man I am really liking how the colors pop.

Wow what a difference. LED's are very impressive. Much more vivid colors.

Looks great! If you have any sensitive corals in there you might want to lower your values a touch. I dropped mine every couple of weeks and things are only getting better (I was bleaching coraline at %80). I'm now down to %50 at peak, seems to be a good balance (light runs alot cooler too). It does look a touch darker, but I'm starting to think that is the tradeoff with LED technology.
