Wiring / Drivers Question

[TANKSALOT]

I am building a 44" LED light for my 90 gal build.
The layout on each side will look like this.

There will be a total of:

24 Royal Blue (12 each side)
8 Blue (4 each side)
16 White (8 each side)
2 Red (1 each side)
4 Green (2 each side)

All 3w Cree LED's

Looking for ideas on what drivers to use and how to wire them.
I will be using an Apex Controller.

Thanks for looking!

You can go with three 40 watt 700mA driver from Inventronics, Thompson or Hyperon. The Vf range is 18-54 so three will drive 45 LEDs. All three are fully compatible with the APEX

You can also use two Meanwell ELN60-48Ds with each one running two parallel strings of 11. The Meanwells need to be adjusted.

Thanks Bill.
I am looking to control the following as sets:
24 - Royal Blue
16 -White
14 - Blue, Green & Red

So how would you recommend these be wired?

If you move one white to the 14 Blue, Green and Red you can use two Inventronics Drivers or Hyperon Drivers for those two strings.

The 24 Royal Blue can be driven by one ELN60-48D at 600mA in two parallel strings of 12 or be two Hyperon or inventronics drivers at 700mA. The Meanwell will need to be adjusted.
