Need help with LED Build configuration for tank 30x16x17h

[kungfukid]

Dear Rapidled,

I am looking to build a DIY led to replace my T5 on my SPS dorminated tank.
Tank dimension is 30" long x 17" wide x 16" tall

I was thinking of the 24 kit (with two dimmable drivers) and add 4 LEDs to max out each driver for a total of 28 LED.

Can I go with just 2 drivers to run a total of 28 LED
so

driver 1: 14 Royal Blue LED
driver 2: 10 CW and 4 Blue LED

Will something like this work?
will 28LED be enough for my sps only tank?
1st driver run 14 Royal LED should be fine. 2nd driver, can this second driver power a mix of 10 cw and 4 blue led serial?


Thanks
Jim

Ouch

...Like that girl who keeps calling you her last boyfriends name...

Our recommendations are a little more than Mikes at Rapid. I like to see 200 PAR on the Sand Bad. This works great for my Reef Tank. I would like to see a picture of their Reef Tank...That said

Our Inventronics and Hyperon Drivers can drive 15 XP/XT LEDs without needing to be adjusted. Theirs can only do 12 or 13 based on a max forward voltage of 48vdc and must be adjusted.

My Recommendation for SPS and Clams on the Sand Bed would be 45 LEDs. 30 would work for LPS and Softies.

Three dimmable Drivers with the following.

24 XT-E Royal Blue
6 XP-E Blue
15 XP-G Premium Cool White.

This is the mix in our Phoenix 45 Solderless Kit.
