Need help choosing LED colors for Retrofit

Hey Everyone,

I'm playing around with the idea of retrofitting my 29g Biocube with Rapid LED's. Just need some thoughts on the color mix. I will have 2 dimmable channels (Labelled A & B), which you can see below in the diagram. Please let me know what you think of the color selection and arrangement!

 

Do this:
12 RB
6 NW
4 TV
2 CB
If you want you could decrease numbers all around and add a few OCW's.

 

I like your color chart thats how I would do it.

 

why not cool white? I very much dislike units without cool white and it seems that neutral white is more of "accent" such as blue

am I missing something?

 

I dont like the NW either

 

NW have a much better spectrum, and CW often give off a "Icy blue" look. However NW with RB will cause a weird look, so CB is used.

 

I've seen units using NW also using a few CW's to balance the look, that could also be done.

 

they have a lower kelvin spectrum i dont know about better lol

 

I tried to base my mix off of Rapid LED's Onyx fixture- but mine has a little bit more color variation. They use primarily a mix of RB and CW. I've heard that NW has very little usable light for corals due to the wavelengths it produces.

 

I have used NW and CW for my aquarium, which makes a better look, I do not know about other suggestions, but I can say that this combination is also very good. I can say that, if you are confused about the selection, then go for this.
