    I'm looking for advice on designing a led strip for my supplement lighting. I currently have 250w mh X 2 and 4 X 54w t5. Id like to keep the halides for now maybe to be replaced with led later. I have a 120g 48x24x24. I'm thinking about some cree leds and I'd like to mix the blue, royal blue and maybe a few red. I'm very open to suggestions and recommendations. Also, are there purplish leds available? thanks all

    Check out nano tuners for the purple LED.
