I'm going to try it out I ordered it. For only 150$ I am trying it to see how it works. I know it's cheap and may not last long time but with Christmas coming fast I can't afford anything more and with 62 3w leds total on a 3' tank I should be ok.?

I just got the leds in and they look great!
For the past week I've had just the actinics on and now with all the leds I'm worried it may to much at first. Since I can't dim these leds how many hours should I leave them on and for how long?
