NEED led advice

6x CREE XT-E Royal Blue LED
4x CREE XP-E Blue 3W LED
6x CREE XP-G R5 5W Cool White LED
4x CREE XP-G 5W Neutral White LED
4x CREE XP-E Red LED might ditch and add 1 more uv and 1 more green
2x Philips Rebel Cyan 3W LED
2x Violet UV LED
2x CREE XP-E Green 3W LED

that's 30 led altogether
so will that be enough?
and for drivers im going 3x Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable driver
the thing is if someone can give me advice on which ones i should put on a driver together and things of that nature.

any help would be nice

 

for what size tank with what potential stocking?

 

But blues on 1, whites on 1, rest on the other make sure to adjust your drivers down for the blues and colors.

 

a 40 breeder. so make the whites shine a little brighter than the blue and other colors?

 

You are a little heavy on the whites, get rid of the neutral whites, then double all of the numbers, except for the reds and regular blues.

 

NO, you need to adjust the drivers because the whites are gonna run a 1500 mA max current, the blues at 1000mA and the colors at prob 700 I believe(double check that).

Are you using a controller? Chances are your gonna want to run the whites around 50-60%ish, and the rest around 70-90% IMO for a good color, but that will depend on what you like

 

so go 12 royals
4 reg blue
12 cool whites
0 nw
4 red
4 cyan
4 violet uv
4 green
which ones rly need to be on a dim drivers and which ones dont and how would you group them?

yes im going to get the reefangel controler. this is all going to be far down the road probally decmberish time or jan (hopfully wont have to wait till my bday in march)

 

i might just break down and forget doing the DIY and go reefbreeders. are the reefbreeders able to be controled by the reefangel?

 

Dude, thats almost 60 Cree leds for a 40 breeder DAMN

But i would tweak it a bit if you can, do like 6 CW and 2 NW, 8 RB, 2 blue and keep the rest the same IMO, I had about 60 over a 55G and ran the whites at 50%, the blues/colors at 75% and anymore starting bleaching everything;(

 

Not this, gonna screw up how to run the diff colors for each driver, pretty sure they max out at 14 leds per driver.

I'd do:
10RB
4blue
8 cw
2 nw
then 2 of the colors each

I have half my tank on reefbreeders and half on Rapid now, both are awesome.
I love the reefbreeders but whats nice about DIY, is as tech improves and changes, its a TON easier to mod the rapid system. that being said, its really a tossup, IMO
