Miz - Hopefully I can maintain a sense of humor about this build. If I drop $300+ and it goes south this thread will end up being a string of profanities.

I can't make the swap but please keep me posted on your build and how the pads work.

Do you think that you will have enough light for the 75 with only 30 total LEDs? -I guess it depends on what you plan on keeping, and where though.
I hear you on the color control. I'm hoping that with one 100% blue string I'll at least be able to keep it from being too blue... we shall see.
30 LEDs alone will not be enough. There will be another 30 added at a later date. Until then 2 48" T5HO bulbs (slightly overdriven by an IceCap 430) will provide additional light. If need be I will use the T5s to change overall color.
