It really would be a fantastic to do a project involving LED Lighting and what we are doing here. Unfortunately the cost of LED Lighting is simply too high at the moment to play with all the commercially available system. Then there is the possibility of building your own systems. I have seen many build articles on doing this for the saltwater reef systems.
Local Saltwater shop has a 24 inch LED system for salt tanks which sells for 139.00 USD and then a 36 inch system for 399.00. Didn't grab the name off the packaging though.

AAAFrog's system for a 20 Long done vertical is only 79.00 plus shipping I believe.

I haven't seen one set up on a saltwater tank and am interested to see how well the lights can reach the bottom since Corals and live rock need tons of light and the metal halides I ran to do this were not cheap.
