I am wanting to be able to adjust all my leds colors separatly. I'll have royal blue, 10k and 65k whites, green, red, and 420 actinic. Here is the specs on the leds. Should I keep these colors or trade them for something differant. By the way, they will be over a 75gal and I want to be able to keep anything and control the leds with an arduino type controller. Also what size heat sinks do you guys rec. for a 48x18 tank.
Thanks in advance!!!!! Ed

3- Red 2.5v@700ma
30- RB 3.6v@700ma
15each 10k and 65k white 3.7v@700ma
3 green 3.5v@700ma
6 420 actinic 3.8v@700ma

I'm looking for about a 14k look. These are bridgelux leds.
 
meanwell eln-60-48 i used these with my reef angel. you can put 8-12 leds on each one. Check Makers heat sinks i just built a light and love these heat sinks
 
This is what I'm looking at so far. I could use an eln-60-48 for the green and 420s. have no idea what I'm going to do what the heck the reds, and still searching for something for the blues and whites. And thanks for the reply by the way

you can use them for the reds i have the color and a few whites on a driver that is turned down to 600ish Ma. the blues and whites are running arounf 1100Ma i think. i also have Uv leds in mine DIY.
 
All my leds will be 700ma. The fv on them are differant. Does anyone know how I can figure out what size driver I will need to power the blues and whites. I want to power them on 2 separate drivers.
