Is it for the 120Gal Reef?? It is hard to say as most peoples needs are different. I will have SPS so I need strong light, if yours is similar I have 250 LED's giving me about 61 Lum per gallon. You may be able to get away with about 75-100 led's. I can not remember the wattage but it is allot. I think the cost will be about $2,500-3,500 plus the Aquacontroller 3 and other bits... Not cheap but compared with replacing about 15 lights at about $50 each for 5 years this ends up costing less AS LONG AS IT IS DESIGNED TO LAST 5 YEARS. This is the whole reason I am having someone who knows more than me put it together, I could not bear to spend $3K for one year of lighting...
I found the guys working at Frys believe it or not, they are trying to start a LED business... mine was just amazing luck! Yeah head to ASU and talk with students that are EE's and interested in LED's. Need lots of luck, or find a startup LED Company looking to start a project like this and it will cost you a bit more.
