Diy led help

[Juicycoral]

Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to purchase a DIY Phoenix 55 kit from Ledlights.com.
Has anyone build one of these yet? If so how do you feel about the kit? It will be going over my 36 inch 65 gallon reef. I'm also purchasing 15 UV Led's and some red and green. Going to mix it up.

Sounds good to me. What sive heatsink are you using? A 24" one would be reccomended, or 2 12". The kits are pretty easy to assemble, just be sure to align the connector right, and dial your drivers to the lowest setting before adjusting them (meanwells only)

Skip the greens. Stick with UV and reds.

I disagree. there is no harm in adding greens, and they will bring out the colors in green corals, especially sticks.
