Went through the trouble of building a pretty decent LED fixture but once complete decided it wasn't right for my tank and needs, looking to sell cheap!
You can see all the details in my build thread:
http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=53606&page=18

All purchased from Steve's LEDs
http://stevesleds.com/

126 3W LEDs total (56 10K white, 56 royal blue, 7 red, 7 yellow) plus 10 more red and 3 more yellow.

4 QUAD drivers for white and blue
2 Single drivers for red and yellow
3 Extra QUAD drivers for spares
350W 24V power supply (powers all drivers)
Drivers are PWM controlled and can be adapted to virtually any controller.

Custom built heatsink using aluminum tubing and pressurized fans, 2 spare fans included.

Fixture/canopy included if wanted

NO LONGER AVAILABLE, Thanks for looking.

May consider trades for more traditional lighting options, will also sweeten the pot and include a profilux II plus controller with all your basic controller needs including LEDcontrol 4 module that will allow for limitless effects.

Just want to note that the single driver for the yellow LEDs isn't working due to ESD failure, however it can easily be replaced with one of the extra quad drivers. The yellow isn't really needed either, was only going to be used for a bit of sunrise/set effect, no other real benefit. Everything else is working without issue at the moment.

Some pictures of the fixture, note not all LEDs are on and I used a fill flash so you could actually see the fixture, it's as bright if not brighter than your typical LED fixture. This fixture can use a max of 350W, this is lots for LEDs.

The fans pull in air from below, push it through the heat sink then out the top. The LEDs and drivers are 100% protected from the water with a tightly sealed cell cast acrylic shield (will never warp).

LEDs are riveted on so they can be replaced if ever needed.

Can be dimmed manually or with PWM control, adapters available for 0-10V dimming as well.

I will also throw in a soldering iron and any advice or guidance needed to adapt this fixture to anyone's needs.
