DIY LED for 160gal SPS Tank

[disaster999]

I recently have a 40" tank, 100gal with a custom 30" DIY LED light with 5 clusters of

3 CREE Neutral white
3 LGB Hyper Violet
3 LGB RGB (deep red, cyan, blue)
6 CREE Royal Blue

These throw out a lot of light esp with lens and running them at 100%

Then I upgraded to a 65" 160 gal tank and my 30" light just isnt cutting it. So I bought 2 Lumia 5.2 and upgraded the drivers and added a new controller.

I have the blue, UV and RGB running at 100% and the whites is at around 70% This throws a lot of light into my tank and have a very even coverage.

What wattage are those diodes? Amazing color. No shadowing? Or does the puck style take that away? I'm planing a build myself.

Total wattage of the entire light is roughly around 370W

There are minimal shadowing but with the light at 12cm wide over a 26" wide tank, theres bound to have some shadowing.

The puck style light mimics a MH light, but MH have reflectors and such to efficiently reflect most of the light into the tank over a wide area. The LEDs cant really achieve that.
