LED Build Questions

I am putting togather two 6" x 20" heatsyncs, 30 LED's each:

12 Cree XP-G R5 Cool White
12 Cree XT-E Royal Blue
3 Philips Rebel ES Cool White
3 Philips Rebel ES Royal Blue

There are 6 open spots on each heatsync, and I was thinking of filling them with some colors, red, green, and/or violet, or any other combination that might be benifitial.

What do you all suggest adding for these 6 spots?

Edit: By the way, 90 gallon standard tank.

some UV (400-420nm) a few Red and a few Green
BUT.. if your optics aren't done properly you WILL have red/green spots on the bottom of the tank..
Those colors should be "peppered" around the fixture.. Not centrally located.

So 4 rows, 9 columns.

Row 2 and 4, columns 2, 5, and 8 are the 6 open spots per side.

So they would not really be central, but it may be more logical then to go with just 2 different colors instead of 3 so they are not peppered.

I am thinking either 3 violet and 3 red-orange on each side or should I go 4 violet and 2 red-orange on each side?
