    Default Best combination of 5 LED's

    So I'm making a small led build for a 5 gallon cube I'm working on, and I've decided to run 5 LED's in a layout similar to half of one ai nano

    BWB

    The blues will be 2 Royal blue and 2 blue 3w and the white is one 5w cool white.

    I then though that I should make this as full spectrum as possible with 5 LED's so what do you guys reccomend? I could do a UV and maybe a red LED? Let me know what's the best color combo you can think of using 5 LED's

    I heard using a warm led will be more beneficial then a cool white....

    I have NW, CW, WW, RB, and Pink on my fixtures. They are much larger though. If you do several colors in that small of a setup, I think it's important to group them or you may get some type of spot lighting of each color. Just some things to consider. And I don't know if anyone really knows yet, but I heard NW was the best for whites...that's why a majority of my whites are NW, added the others for a fuller spectrum. Have had success so far.
