Adding more LEDs for better spectrum

So I would like to add a few more LEDs to improve my spectrum.

I currently have:

Violet - 410-420nm x3
Royal Blue - 450-465nm x10
Blue - 465-485nm x4
Cyan - 490-520nm x3
Cool W - 5000-8300K x6
Neutral W - 3700-5000K x5

I was looking to add:

Green - 520-535nm x3
[STRIKE]Red - 620-630nm x3[/STRIKE]


My other options are:

[STRIKE]Red Orange - 610-620nm
Deep Red - 650-670nm
Warm White - 2600-3700[/STRIKE]


Thanks for the help.

 

Also is it true that Red (575-650nm) can cause corals to brown out?

It looks like Red is a bad option, it can grow algae ect.. I might just add green to complete my spectrum.


Any input?

 

This might help you see how coral reacts to wavelength.

IMO, the reds stand out find without dedicated LEDs. Try looking at very low UV LEDs, somewhere around 390-400ish nm.

 

I did find some UV in that range but they run at 500mA, I need to find ones that run at 700mA, I don't want to blow them.

Thanks for the help so far guys, I am thinking Green(RapidLED) and lower range UV (LED Group Buy)

398nm @ 700mA

 

Thanks!!! +1

Should take out my current Violet or add? What are your thoughts on green?

If I am going to open my hood and solder I kinda want to do everything at once if you guys think green is a good idea.

You have almost the same led setup as I do, minus the 398nm LEDs. I have both the regular violet and the 398s.

Leave the violets in, add the 398s, and wait a few weeks. The 398s are very dim to the eye, but if you hold your hand directly under them, you can feel the burn! If you still aren't satisfied, add the cyans.

 

If I already have (Cyan - 490-520nm) currently in my system should I even go ahead and add (Green - 520-525nm)?

I think 3 is enough, that's what I currently have for each of my supplemental LEDs.

Thanks again, once I hear back from you I'll place my order tonight.

 

I just placed an order for (Green 520-525nm) and (UV 398nm), the gf wanted to go to sleep so I just hurried and placed.


Thanks for the help, let me know what you think about the green.
