as long as the controllers are just varying the time they are on and not the intensity (voltage going to the LED). If the controller varies the voltage that will also vary the light frequency (nm) output of the LED which may cause them to be outside the "useful" range for the corals as well. That's the problem with a lot of the "variable" LED kits you see on ebay is it varies the voltage of the LED's them selves which changes the light frequency (properties) of the LED
