    So I've decided that I am going to build my own LED hood for the my JBJ Picotope. I am submitting it here for critique. Let me know what you all think. The LED's will be controlled by the Typhon LED Controller from Boost LED and I will be ordering almost everything else from Rapid led (5 3W Cree ww LED and 6 3W RB LED plus some sort of moon light. The WW, RB, and moon lights will each be controlled separately on different channels and I am not planning on running the LED's at 100%. Do you think this many LED's is overkill?

    Here is an "amazing" paint drawing of what I am thinking of
