Improving my leds

Hello

 

I have an 39"x39"x19"h tank with diy leds this is my design:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n202/Senne_Gielen/led_zps803ec6c9.png[\IMG]oI have 6 of these tiles and I run each color on a different dimmable meanwell driver. Except for the violets they all are luxeon leds.

 

Now since I have read a lot about leds I know that 660nm leds aren't really good and neither are the true green ones.

So I wanted to replace the deep red with standard red and the true green with lime leds. Should this give me better colors?

 

Also I normally I like more white light but I think this is just a little bit too white , so should I replace one NW with a blue or a royal blue?

 

Regards

You won't see much of a change going from deep red to red. Going from green to lime will, but not the way you think. The colors of corals won't change much if at all, but the light will look brighter as a result. It will also make the light look more crisp (more like a good metal halide bulb), so you may want to just make that change, and adjust from there.
