    Rapid said this would work i just want everyones thoughts and to see if anyone has anything similar...,

    I want to add slightly more color to my 50 gallon breeder. Currently I have 4 T5s (ati blue plus x2, fiji purple, ati coral plus) and two all royal blue par 30's. Tank has a slight blue look but I'd like a little more.

    For about 109 shipped I can get a rapid led dimmable driver, 36" heat sink, thermal glue (i dont want to screw) end cap, jump wire, and 9 solderless leds with wire. Anything im missing?

    Here is the combination I was looking at

    B-UV-Cyan-RB-B-RB-Cyan-UV-Blue (rbs in middle because my par 30 rbs are toward the outside of the tank)

    Do you think it would blend well with no optics and is it worth $109.. I know I basically can get a whole led fixture for $175 but I like my T5s. The money isn't really a factor, but I'd like to know for $109 I would be adding some color and maybe a tad par.

    Thoughts?? Rapid said my combination would work on this driver

    which I like because I don't have to worry about wiring power cords. Also thermal pads over the glue?? Thanks all
