Led color combo?

Woja222 · 11/11/2011, 12:44 PM

Ok, so I'm looking for some input on a good color combo here. I have a 72 gallon bowfront and am running 24 royal blues and 12 cool whitesand love the color, I am wanting to add other colors though too. Planning on adding two greens, but also want to add UV/purples but dont know how many to add. Should I do any other colors like warm whites or reds?

Some of the decision rests on why you are adding LED.. Added PUR, or for a better look.

UV, neutral whites, and even the reds will help the PUR, and the blue and green will help more with the look. The UV also helps with the look.

Be careful with reds, they really effect the look of the tank. Use only 2 with super wide optics.

Adding purple for look mostly and partly for par. Just don't want to overpower with purple. That's why I was gpnna maybe add some warm white to hit that part of the spectrum and to balance the color with the purple
