    Default LED color combinations

    I have been working with an aftermarket LED retrofit company called Steve's LEDs to develop a vivarium version of their hood retrofits for several popular tank sizes and manufactures (Red Sea, BioCube Coralife and Oceanic, Nano Cube, ext). We wanted to reach out to the community in regards to color spectrum and intensity. So the question is, what spectrum, par, for the healthiest plants and how many satellite colors (blues, reds, ext) to highlight the flowers and frogs color?

    A few LED ratio recommendations (such as 50:50 Royal Blue:Cool White)(65% cool white, 25%royal blue, 10%lime, 10% broad Amber) ext. would be great! Here are the colors available:

    365nm ultraviolet
    420nm Violet
    440nm Royal Blue
    460nm Cool Blue
    510nm Cyan
    540nm Deep Green
    575nm-650nm broad amber (orange)
    600nm - Red-Orange
    640nm - Standard Red
    670nm - Deep Red

    All input is welcome!

    I have a build that is about to start that I will be documented on the forum showing these hoods and the potential that they have for the hobby

    Default Re: LED color combinations

    I'm thinking of a fixture with 2 channels, 7x 6,500K whites on one and 2x reds, 3x blues, 2x limes on the second. 14 LEDs total for a BC29 should be plenty bright. And possibly a lunar channel

    Any thoughts?
