Nano-reef.com lighting forum is your best resource. Locally I know Ron66 just finished a DIY LED for his iReef Nano tank. good luck.

Not overly difficult to do. As Snaz says check out nano-reef.com. They have a bunch of LED builds and one of the members is a great resource for anything LED related. I am planning a 48" LED array for my 75 gallon tank. I have almost all the parts now.

Looks great. Do you have a build thread at nano-reef.com?

Wow. that looks awesome!. Did you do an even split of the of the blue and white? ive been thinking about doing this to cut electricity costs and help slow down evaporation. how have you been finding these things since making the switch?
