I'm going to try the Reef Radiance DM-165e lights on my 120. I sent a e-mail to Rick about custom LED layout but I know he's busy with the show last weekend and I just wanted to get some other opinions. I know the fixtures have 2 channels white and blue and I'm assuming you probably shouldn't put blue LEDs on the white channel. Anyways I modified the layout taking away some of the 450nm and adding a lot of lower 420 and 430 nm in it's place, also change 2 of the 6500K to 5000K. All outer will be 120° and all 410, 420,430, 520, 595, and 660nm will be 120° all others 90° optics.

I'm looking for a good balance between growth and visual appearance, I'm not going to be fragging and selling but I would like my tank to fill out before I die kinda thing.

 
The originals have pretty good coloring if you ask me, and being that they are adjustable, you can get kinda what your after by doing it that way. But, your lay out should work just fine.
