So...I finally got around to taking apart the hood to get some pics to post.
To reiterate my hood has 13 1.3w LED's powered off of one power cord/2 toggle switches. One of the switches operates 11 LED's(the 5 10k and 6 of the 20k) and the other switch operates 2 LED's(20k in the center). At a minimum I would love to have a way to add a power cord so that I can operate the switches separately. I have also been thinking about what I could/should do to replace the 1.3w LED's with 3w. If I do that should I get dimmable drivers? And if I am going thru all this what colors would you use in the 13 spots? How difficult would this endeavor be? I am fairly handy...
Rapid got back to me and said they do have a non-dimmable moonlight driver which could be used to run the 2 moonlights - and it has it's own cord so I could connect it to my reefkeeper separately. So then it would be a question of dimmable or non-dimmable to drive the other 1.3w or new 3w led's.

So let me know any ideas you might have. I have looked at the kits but feel that with the depth of the 24 gallon it might be too much par. All my corals seem to be doing good.
