Hello,
i would like to upgrade my DIY led lighting for reef tank. at the moment i have 5 pannels 24cree leds/pannel. Each pannel is combined of 14 cree RB and 10 cree CW. I was thinking of adding (per pannel):

2x http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/deep-red-660nm/

2x http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/turquoise-495nm/

1x http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/exotic-true-violet-led-410nm/

1x http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/exotic-hyper-violet-led-430nm/

do you have any remarques (too much or not enough? maybe some of them are not necessary?)

 

Would appreciate your help.

I would remove all of your cool white LEDs and instead use a mixture of warm and neutral white. (Maybe four neutral and two warm per panel). Then you do not need red, which don't blend well and will make light disco.

 

You will want to add one XP-E2 blue for every ~4 royal blue that you have, so three per panel. Add one or two cyan (turquoise) per panel. IMHO, only two violet per panel won't do too much, I would consider upping that to at least 2-3x of each per panel to be able to get enough intensity for them to have an effect.
