DIY led build incoming

Hey all,

So new tank is in place sump is set and plumbing almost done. Now to my lighting. I have my drivers and what not but I am trying to decide on colors and how many. The Tank is a 120gal 4x2x2. I want to keep all coral and never have to worry about coral not getting enough light. I would rather dial it back then have to add more. So this week being a pay week. Let me know what colors and how many I should get. I know I want to mix in a few reds and greens for color. Also some UV for that POP! Other then that i am clueless what whites and blues to use and how many. any help would be great.

THANKS ALL
Pat

 

bump come on someone wants to help HEHE!

 

tagging along really interested in doing a diy led build myself, but so lost between serial or paralle and which way to go. good luck

 

Don't use real "UV". Most technically, UV isn't visible to your eye and can damage the coral. You want the Violet or near UV for the pop. You should also make sure to sprinkle in other colors like red, cyan, etc.

 

ok so i want alittle of each color theres going to be 2 heat sinks so they should match like 2 greens, 2 reds, 2 cyans per heat sink. then a few voilets and then the rest blue and white?
