I recently added 6 OCW and 12 True Violet from LED Group Buy. The OCW is a nice effect, but I'd almost like a touch more red.

What size of tank are you running for this set up? checking out ledgroupbuy....

I have a 75 gallon standard, but only turn the lights up to 50%. I've already begun the sniveling process to get a 150G (48Lx30Wx24H) next year. I have no doubt it will light it no problem.

excellent thats good to know! Its nice knowing you have the power to light something bigger. Intensity control is one of the main reasons i want to jump on this led train

I went with ledgroupbuy as well. My mix was 6 - 3up stars, 6 - RB, 2 OCW and 6 True Violets. I love how my green's POP and my monti's, gsp's and Acan's love the spectrum.

edit: 3 of those RB's are only used for moon lighting.

You went with 6- NW:RB:RB 3ups AND 6 RB... not too blue?

well 3 of those RB's are used just for the moonlights. And I wired all the RBs (even the ones on the 3 ups) on one driver and the NW's on another so I can play with the intensity of each separately. And I do run my NW's higher than the RB's, I just can't remember right now how much I drive each one. I could find out easy enough if there's interest.
