    Just ordered my supplies from rapid led and will post here on my progress.
    Going with 16 royal blue, 12 neutral white, 4 cool white, and 4 blue. My plan will be to have 4 clusters of 9 leds on a 4.25" X 23" heatsink (4rb, 1blue, 3nw, 1cw)and see how well the colors blend, can dim to adjust if anything is overwhelming.

    Sounds great! What size tank do you have and what kind of corals? Just curious is all.

    I like the mixture of the LEDs, nice selection! Im curious about the tank size as well! Something like 40 gallon breeder, I assume?

    Actually it's one of those 54g corner bowfronts, working with 18" of water depth. As of now it's only stocked with 3 kinds of zoas, gsp, rbta and something I haven't yet IDd (looks like large zoas on about 2 inch stalks). After the lights are done and the current corals are acclimated then I'll start adding mostly LPS and select sps.
