What do you have now? What don't you like about them?

I would stay away from greens. Also, instead of the reds, you should mix your cool whites with neutral whites.

That sounds like a pretty good combination, especially since you can dim each of them separately. Are you going to put the violets and reds on the same dimmer? Do they have similar specifications?

oll is parallel cnected vith resistor and fuse and was thinking tu run the RB at 90% - whites on around 35-45% and the mix off blues-red-uv on around 40-50% vhot you think abouth this .

If your going to use Reds ensure your Cool Whites are the Coolest bin or things will look a bit warm for a reef tank. Also for the best colour pop use the Bin D316 Royal Blue.

The Reds Greens and UV are the spice. Its best to put them on separate drivers to control the colour perfectly. Also be careful of the UV some max out at only 500mA.
