Thank guys for the constructive input.
 I am not totally done with the fans just yet. Martin & I were checking them before he left for Ireland for Xmas & we both think there will be enough air flow to go around but I have been thinking of adding a 3rd fan & adding in some pieces to direct the air flow into all fins. I haven't picked up the AlumiFix yet but need to this week so I can work on them over the holidays. Also have to build the frame to support the heat sink. I will be putting optics on all the whites ( 45 degree ) & blue ( 60 degree ) but not on the Reds or Greens. My heat sinks well be between 10" - 12" above water level & I doubt it very highly that they will be ever at 100%. Martin also supplies the Arctic Siler to attach the LEDs to the heat sink so that's covered too.

From what Martin was saying, just mix up about the size of a dime or smaller at a time because there's only about 10 min working time. Also you only need a dab about 1/8" diameter under each LED, use a toothpick to apply on each LED.

Do you have to prep the aluminum first before gluing the leds on?

Other then making sure the surface if free of any dust or dirt no prep needed.

Most guys use a car or a truck.
How do you plan on compensating for that with an LED light? Anyways looks like it going to be pretty awesome, enjoy the project!
