I'm tossing around the idea of using DIY LEDs for a 40b frag/LPS/anemone tank that will be plumbed into my main system.

Will 36 LEDs be enough? Aquarium 36 LEDs Dimmable DIY LED kit with optics


If I go with 2 of the Mean Well ELN-60-48D, I will be able to use up to 40 LEDs, correct? (Rated power is 62.5W each)

Also, should I go all 10,000K or a half and half 10,000K/6,500K?

Yup, thats 108 watts, thats plenty. I'd go 18white, 16 blue, 2 red. All 10k. 80 degree optics.
