So I have been reading lots about LED's and I think i have finally wrapped my head around everything. I have a 12 gallon JBJ, I'm looking to gut the stock hood and retro in the LED's.
Im going to get the heatsink from heatsinkusa.com 10x6 should fit with the stock splash guard

1 standard 3 prong power cord, to this power supply, 24v 6.5A
24V, 6.5A POTRANS POWER SUPPLY-MPJA, Inc.
(16ga, 24ga?) wire to 3 of these buckpucks, one string of all white, one of all blue, one of half and half.
3023-D-E-1000P Wired BuckPuck - LED Supply.com
LED's from nanotuners.com, the standard Cree XRE's and their mounting pads.
Spacing would be as shown below
My questions are
1) Do I have all the right parts, and correctly configured?
2) Is this too much light? 12 didn't seem like enough. This is going to be SPS dominated (12+ sticks?), with acans and a small zoa garden
3) I was going to get some PC fans to assist the two already in the stock hood, could I wire them to the power supply as well?
4) Does anyone have any other comments, concerns, questions?
I am taking this tank to college, and am going to take small frags 1-2" and watch them over a year to test growth. Thanks!
