What's the over all heat temp of the lights cause I'm looking for something around 20000k

Pick a good mix for a more broad spectrum. I have seen a mix with 420, 440, 450, 3500k, 6500k and 10000k. The great thing about it having a programmable controller is you have 6 channels to use for each color so that you can customize it however you like

So is the k amount accumulative ??

And can you suggest what colours I should get

Those 6 colors work well. something like this:

Channel 1= all 420
Channel 2= all 440
Channel 3= all 450
Channel 4= 1/2 440, 1/2 3500
Channel 5= 1/2 440, 1/2 6500
Channel 6= 1/2 440, 1/2 10000

I'm not sure, but 1 channel may have to be used for the fans. If so you could get away without the 10000k all together

Not too sure exactly what you mean. With the controller you can turn the channels from 0%-100% intensity. You have blue channels and white channels. You can dial in the colors to what you want that way

I use rapidled and reefledlights. My fixture is 1/1 ratio royal blue to cool whites. But I would suggest 2/1 ratio royal blue to cool white. I threw in one of their total spectrum uv LEDs for moonlight and broader spectrum range.
