I have 24:24 white:blue. It gives a 14k Phoenix like look this way, with less blue. I have to turn the whites down almost halfway with blue at full blast to get a 20k look.
If you want the Phoenix look or bluer, 2:1 blue:white is the way to go.

My exact tank ... One d120 lights up the wholes tank ....
I started on page 1 of this thread looking for lighting options. 6 hours later... WOW!
I'm starting a 180G tank and was quoted $2000 for lighting at my LFS. *faints*
Where can I contact "Sam" to get the D120's that you have Travis? I see them on Aliexpress as previously shown but if it shaves off delivery time I'd definitely like to go direct. BTW, Travis, your tank is AWESOME!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread! As a newbie, this has been very educational.

Let us know how you like them.
I'm thinking of geting them also. $200 and dimmable with a apex sounds great.

Id keep the violets on the blue switch my goes 28 one switch 27the other
Switch one 19 blues 4 whites(to break up the blue windex look) and 4 violets
Switch 2 17 whites 11 blues
I do that cause I have a single reefbrite led to run for my pop effect day and night so if. Was to get it with 34 blues 17 whites 4 violets id do it switch one 19 blues 4 white 4 violets and switch two 14 blues 13 whites
If you want it to be a sick pop look for your blue switch do all blues and violets one switch and the rest on the other... Ya want the violets on the blue switch though cause they bring out the extra colors in the coral

No prob any questions ya have ask away if I can help I will
Is it possible that they can make a configuration of LED's to my taste?
Combination of whites/blues/violets? Possibly put moon lights as well? 3-dimmers?
Might be asking a lot for custom work but I am just trying to gauge if it is better to go DIY with what I would like or if they can actually built one like it.

A few people have ordered custom ratios. No one has requested moon lights yet, but email and see if they will do it.
These are some of the custom orders placed so far. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/317880/211629222/D-120w-with-DIY-Ratio.html

Man all those ratios are wayyyy too white for me..... The white are pretty powerful so they over power the blues in a 50/50 setting but that's just my opinion....
For their 55 LED system, I emailed them to see if they have
10k, 6.5k, Blue, Violet, combo they can do. It would be mostly blues, 4 violet and probably a few 6.6k white. Still up in the air on ratio and even adding 2 whites.
I am looking for a 15k to 20k look but again, would like a good light spectrum.
I may be asking too much from them but we shall see.
