I know man, i might take you up on that offer sooner than later

[eklikewhoa]

I've been ordering from RapidLeds.com and stevesLeds.com

both very good people to deal with and my orders come in quick!
I using a mix of the two vendors for my little reef tank and can't say which I like better. I love the clean look of Rapids drivers but the leds from steves work great and are cheap.

[New_Cichlid11]

will def look into stevesleds,what would they be mounted on just a a regular pc housing?

[eklikewhoa]

no, these would need to be mounted to either an aluminum heatsink (check ebay or either of the vendors) or an aluminum bar think enough to handle the heat.

the energy bill might disagree

Well I Suggest that the LED Lighting Systems are quickly becoming the preferred choice of aquarium lighting for both freshwater and marine aquarium as compare to MH Lighting System and also better for light energy consumption

I'm not quite sure about that. There's still tons of people who prefer MH over LEDs. I haven't seen MH in person, but I am definitely a fan of LEDs. I'll have a MH setup soon, so we'll see how that goes. If I don't like it, I'll swap over to LEDs, but from what I've heard, I think I'm going to love it.
