Hey everyone finally getting the tank back up and running and restoring my old DIY Led fixtures from rapid. After gazing upon the Ghl mitra(thanks for the rundown marco) and seeing the adjustability and color I'm going to attempt on a budget to replicate.

Fixture previously had 1:1 rb to cw
With some blue and uv on royal blue string.And red and green on the cool white strings with a few nw in there.
Total of 42 leds per panel. 84 total on 2 dimmers.

I now have 4 channels and option of constant for uv. So 5 channels total per unit. Any suggestions of color placement on strings? My layout thought was

Driver 1: 2 osram 600 red, 2 ww, 4,nw, 4 cw, 2 lime @ 900-1k

Driver 2: 8 blue, 2 cyan, 1 green @ 900-1k

Driver 3: 14 royal blue @ 1200

Driver 4: 4 410-420 uv and 4 420-430 uv and 4-6 royal blues

Alternative layout.

Driver 1: , 4,nw, 8 cw, @ 900-1k

Driver 2: 2 ww, 3 red, 1 green, 2 lime,

Driver 3: 8 blue, 2 cyan, @ 900-1k

Driver 4: 14 royal blue @ 1200

Driver 5: constant non dimmable 8 uv leds (possible 4 rb)

any suggestions on which colors you would essentially prefer to control reds and green or uvs? I know red and greens over power of turned up but I thin ratio wise it should be ok. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
