This is my first led build. I am getting a 120 led kit from aquastyleonline.com 60 whites half 10k and half 6500k and 60 royal blues. My main concern right now is the placement. I need to run 5 strings of 12 on each meanwell driver, so i was thinking of going with 5 40" U channel aluminum strips and spacing them for good coverage. Does this sound good? Or should I do somthing different? I am trying to stay away from heatsinks for budget reasons.

That should be fine. Make sure they are 3 inches apart from the middle of each LED. Don't forget the fuses, too. That way you do not lose whole strings of
LEDs if one burns out. Will you be using pop rivets to keep the U-channel together?
