Just blue & white? Why no color?

Budget.. But I left room to add another 10led's per heatsink giving me 2 more strands.. I think I'll add another 5 white (not sure which temp tho) and the other 15 idk as I'm new into saltwater and I don't really like the looks of most sps & lps so I'm staying mostly fish & softies, any good ideas on what new colors? I think I may also have a single led on each heatsink for moonlight (or night time viewing light as I like to put it)

Red green and ultra violet or purple. You only need a few red and green though don't put more than 3 of each that wouldn't look right LOL.

lol yeah, ive been discussing this on TRT I think im going to go for some uv, 2 diff purples, warm white and lime led's

yeah ultra violet & purple lol, what I think im gonna do is 6 or 4 WW, 2 or 4 lime, 6 violet, 6 purple, and I have a moonlight, its a LED light that I got at autozone for a domelight in my old f150, pretty sure its just 1w but its bright enough to light the whole tank so it works. with my old lights it made the tank look like I had some nice led's lighting it up at night
