Default Any engineers around? (DIY LIGTHING)

I stopped out at ratshack and picked up a handfull of blue led's and a handfull of uv led's along with two printed boards.

I am looking to wire up a couple 'moonlights' on either side of the florescent light that is in there now (there is about 4 inches on either side perfect for the lights)

and a single light bar for the UV bulbs on a planted tank for the night to help with growth (will be more of a case study)

Any one know a good way to wire them up? or more over a good site to help guide me along?

Got it!

So thinking about removing one blue led (there are 4) and adding a second light set, and a red led on each to vary the light a little. should be cool.
Also have it set up on a time to turn on .5 hour before the light switches off on a diff timer. its pretty easy to run!
