Hey everyone I built my leds this past summer with he standard cool white and royal blue set up, well now I want to add some variety to it. The drivers can run 14 leds each so I'm thinking two blues and two neutral whites to mix it up a bit, does that sound alright? Next question my heat sink is drilled and tapped for 36 leds but I put all my leds on two lines next to each other do you think if I ran a strip of different colored leds it would blend fine with it being on the outside not inbetween the blues and whites?
 
I guess we need a bit more detail. How many LEDs are installed currently? How big of a tank is it on and how high above the water? Are you running any optics on the leds?
 
24 leds currently on a 40 breeder no optics roughly 8-10 inches from the waters surface if that helps!
 
Swap out a couple LEDs for reds, greens, and regular blues, that will definitely add some color. Nuetral whites will not do much, but you can try those too, it sounds to me like they are swappable.
