That isn't quite what I was thinking. I'll see if i can find some time to draft up what I'm thinking would be best at work today. I should have time to do it.

Are these going to be dimmable and on different drivers?

Personally I for one have a hard time working with the layout, odd number of white and RBs, only two blues, and too many whites. Also I don't think you have enough LED's for a 4ft fixture, especially with optics. Are you open to suggestions regarding changing a few things other than placement?

These are the numbers that was suggested by Modular LED.

Remember that my tank is only 13" wide. I would like to use the amount suggested as I have spent enough money on this fixture as is.

Yes I have 3 dimmable drivers.

I'm thinking more along the lines of this layout:



Sorry. I just got rush pipeline edits and I haven't had the opportunity to think about the colours, yet.

That could be done. I would have to extend some of the connectors but that is fine.

Thanks again

If you don't want to order any different LEDs, I think I might try this:



I swapped the positions of the centre W and RB.

EDIT: Just keep in mind that I don't know a whole lot about this. I'm just learning, too.
