LED Build 180 Gallon

After reading what feels like every website there is on LEDs, I just put together my first "rough" idea for led color selection.

I will be lighting a 72X24X24 reef tank (will be installed in January) with three heatsinks evenly spaced across the tank lengthwise.

Each sink will have 40 LEDs. I will be using a combination of Bridgelux and Epileds 3w. Here is my initial color plan. Please let me know what you think and feel free to make any adjustments, additions, subtractions etc.

42 RB - 452-455nm
27 W - 6500k
15 W - 10,000k
9 V - 418-420nm
9 B - 462-465nm
9 Cyan - 490-520nm
9 R - 660nm
