Ok so this is for all you led gurus I'm looking to led light my 5 gallon nano I found a good deal from a supplier I've dealt with b4 for 6 3 watt leds 3 white 3 blue the whites are 6700k-8700k and blues are 450-550nm is this good and I'm probably gonna make my own heatsink so I guess what I need is help with the light configuration and a driver preferring somethin where I can dim blue and white seperatly

well im no expert (not even knowledgable) but i do know that the white LEDs are not the right color temperature you're looking for, you want probably a 10000k white LED, though the blue ones are a tad high they are close to the range for actinic.

thats about all i can help with!
 
If you want to dim them separately you need 2 dimable driver, I got mine from ledsupply.com
