Default Mixing LED Colours on custom fixture

Hey guys...
I seen this thread somewhere but searched high and low and found nothing

Maybe someone can chime in on this matter.
In the meantime
Im working on my LED fixture slowly and building up the materials needed to start the build.

The tank is a 53 x 24 x 30 ( L x W x H ) Full Reef ( mainly softies ).

I have my main "channels" split up as follows:
1. Cool White 6000K
2. Warm white 3500K
3. Blue 460-465nm
4. Royal Blue 445 - 455nm
5. Green 510-530nm
6. Red 610-630nm
7. Deep Red 660nm
8. Violet / UV 395 - 400nm

LED's are 3W Epistar's with 120 degree optics and using 8x 11.8" x 5.5" x 0.8" heat sinks with active thermal management. Each LED string will be colour independent and have 10 LED's. The Aluminum PCBs will be custom to allow the mixing of colours to avoid the disco effect in the tank. The Cool White and Warm White LED's are 90 degree units.

Before I can move further and design the Aluminum PCB I need to figure out the distribution and scatter
