Thanks Flyboy, BTW, I’m retired Air Force myself! Well I have an Apex Controller so I know if I was going with the RapidLED, I would get the Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable drivers, because the Apex needs the 1-10V analog. Of course, I would rather have 2 drivers instead of 4, but I’ll take a look and try to find the difference! Going with the 3.1 ratio means 36 RB and 12 Whites per fixture, but I would like to throw in some color with the greens! I don’t want a too blue tank, so I was thinking of:
24 X RB
18 X 10k
6 X Greens
2 Lunar lights
That’s 50 LEDs per fixture! What do you think of that ratio! Shouldn’t that give me a good overall the spectrum?

I have a friend that’s going help my wire it up and make the heat sinks 24” X 10”
