Took that just now...lights are starting to dim. I run all 4 channels at 78%.
I've had them about 18 months or maybe a little longer.
Thanks Diana, I know theres a lot of threads here about steve's but I don't remember anything about people reporting about there long term effects of them. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with steve's led setup it could just be me or LED's in general. None the less it's nice to see feed back as we all have the same brand>Here's the thread I was thinking about:

It may not help with your wonders.
There are several more "Steve's LED" threads also. Just search it here at RS.

Just check my thread, Installed & started using my LEDs 01-04-2013.
So for over 2 years now.
All I can tell you is: I don't dose anything & very seldom spot feed my corals.
I only use Instant a Ocean Reef Crystals but I do weekly WCs (10gal)
Here's the moni-caps that I just removed because they out-grew my tank:

They seemed to have loved the light....Grew TOO FAST for my liking!
well it's being a few weeks and i've switch back over with new bulbs to my t5"s and what a big difference in all my corals. Everything has started to colour back up nicely even more so with the sps I'm thinking that doing the 16K led kit was not a good idea but I have seen other kit's with the 12K kit that look great. I will post some before and after pics of the progress I think that there is not enough whites in the 16K kit and when you crank up the whites that are there that they bleach out the coral that are under them.
That's the way it goes I opted for the 16k ultra blue kit and here we are
