Led for a 110g

Im gonna be making a solderless LED fixture from rapidled.com and was wondering how many leds i would need for one side of the 110. Need to know how many of each led i'll need like the blue/white ratio

 

I think you might need to give a bit more detail than just the size of the tank. (wat you keeping, how tall is your tank etc). I think the ratio is more of your own preference. I like my tank bluer than white so I woulda go for 55% blue 40% white and 5% violet. However that would make your tank look " darker" becuase white led would give out more lumens and your eyes will feel it is a lot "brghter".

 

its 31in deep and its going to be mixed reef sps lps and softs. currently its lighted my 2 250w metal halides but i want to get rid of the hanging light look etc

 

Ithink in that case, you might want the 60 degree lense to focus your light a bit mroe to get deeper as it is kinda tall tank. I would say about around 70 LEDs in total. As for ratio, it is still up to u. I would always include some UV/violet LEDs to provide a more vivid coloration.

 

for just one half of the tank though im gonna slowly convert over so on 1 half is gonna be led and the other halide lighting

 

Ii would suggest do the whole tank together, just like ppl don't suggest use different watt mh (for eg: a 250 w and a 400w side by side) on the same tank. It can creat uneven lighting in the tank and " hot spot" where the light overlap .when u have a mh and led side by side , that effect might be even worse as led's light beam is a lot more focus than mh. It could either mean dead spot or hot spot depend on ur lense for led

 

after some research im going to build my fixture with this led setup plz tell me if i need more leds or less
all are cree
8x 5w cool white
8x 3w blue
10x 3w royal blue
8x 3w ultra violet
all with either 60 or 80 degree lens

 

forgot to mention as well this is a build for 1 fixture for one side of the tank im gonna build a second one just want to know if the first one is right or not
