DYI led strip advice

[Crosaldo]

Hello fellas

I'm planing to modify a led strip that I have for improve the le light for my corals, it's a 36 inch led strip with 36 leds and two channels

It's a 2 channel led strip, I'm planning to use the first channel for the day an the second for the moon light, I use a sun setter to control them

I'm want to use this kind of leds


- 3w 45mil 700mA White Full Spectrum 380~780nm SMD LED
- white 20,000k
- royal blue 465 nm
- uv 395 and 410 nm

I'm asking for advice of the distribution and other led that help me to improve the coloring and growth of my corals

Thanks

you'd be better off just starting from scratch with a better heatsink from rapid LED or steves LEDs

Thanks I will check and what about the leds

Not bad distribution plans, but I agree, it ended up not being cost effective anymore to build my own fixture. I found the corona from rapid LED to be best bang for buck.

Otherwise, roughly: //most people like this bluish color
1 - red
1 - green
4 - 475nm blue
10 - 465nm royal blue
6 - 420nm uv
6 - 410nm u
8- cool white (higher K is better)
