Hey there. I made this light there is like 39X1W Leds (adjustable power 0-100%)
White and Pink Full spectrum, some Deep red and Royal blue, rest is 6000 and 8000k.

Tank is 112 liters.
Additionally i got chihiros AII 801 with 3300lm at 30W and 8000k.

Im dosing Co2. Should I use only DIY Lamp or add chihiros on some 0-100%?

Plants - microsorium mini, sagittaria subulata, Althernathera mini, althernanthera rosanervig, cirnum calamistratum, ehinodorus ozelot green, ehinodorus red flame, limnophilia aromatica, Bacopa caroliniana.

Hi @Mike87 Thats very cool! Well, if you can adjust the intensity (that's key) and it makes your tank look the way you like it, then all is fine as far as I am concerned. I doubt you will need to add the extra light if the DIY offers enough coverage / spread. The thing to look out for is not to blast the tank with too much light.

Cheers,
Michael

Depending on the drive current and diode efficiency the Chihiros is probably slightly stronger but less err " colorful".

The par should be fine, depending on plant choices.
