LED opinions please

Currently I am running 24 dimmable crees on a 29g mixed reef. 12 CW/12 RB. I am thinking about expanding the spectrum. Do think I should just swap out some CW/RB (mainly CW) for a couple B, NW, and UV, or buy a 4 or 6 uv led kit with another driver and everything and then just swap out like 4 CW for NW/B ?

The longer I spend at rapid the more carried away I get.

I know the feeling, started out my build on inexpensive t5 lights. Already blown the budget on 24 led's and thinking about going to 30 just in case.

I think you can do swap. I believe you have more than enough LED in your tank.
Do the swap first then worst come to worst, just buy additional driver since you already have the extra LEDs.

Yeah, your right. I don't want too much light. I'll just swap a few out and see how it goes.
Thanks
