multitasking the arduino????

Is it possible to have an arduino run 2 types of led strips? i have a project and had originally bought apa102’s 144 leds/meter, but now i want to add led rings to the project and there are no rings that have apa102’s but i found some with ws2812’s and i want to know is if i can control both types of leds with a single arduino. or should i purchase a second arduino and use 2 separate arduinos to run both types of leds.

Check the Arduino forum for a sticky post titled something like “how to do several things at the same time”.
