Light Recommendation for Algae Scrubber

I have been doing some DIY projects lately and its is time to start the third project.

Projects:
1. DIY Controller on hold
2. DIY Leds on hold
3. New sump done
4. DIY Algae Scrubber

I just put the 15 gallon sump on in replacement of a 5 gallon sump. The 15 gallon sump is 10 gallons full and I am using it currently just for equipment purposes. This means it is a Keep It Simple solution with no baffles. I might add baffles to help control the micro bubbles but for right now there isn't any noticeable bubbles.

Anyways, I am wanting to save on electricity cost so was wondering what type of LED systems are available now to light the algae scrubber. I hope to get this done in a few days so I wanted to order lights if need be now rather than later. Lets see the recommendations.

1:3 ratio of blues/reds should work. Say 6 reds(660nm) and 2 blues (450nm)? That's the configuration TurbosAquatics has his running and hes selling them lol
