Talking DIY led for 40glns

i have been thinking about building a canopy full of led bulbs as tightly as possible for my 40glns reef. replacement for my 400w halide and 200 mogul florescent light that emmits alot of heat.
so today i received my led bulbs 7 days earlier than expected.
tommorrow i will be purchasing the power relay,some wiring, fans, soldering gun(well a new one)plexy glass,quick dry liquid plastic,resistors and some wood.

specs.aprox. more detail will follow.

power supply 120-24VDC 8Amps steady stream
fans any 2 fans fitting the hood
plexy glass i will start with 24"by 7.5" drill 300 oval holes
liquid plastic to cover all the wiring for water corrosion
200 led-blue-150,000mcd 0.5w 10mm 40degree angle 3.8v 100mA 5-chip
100 led-whiye 8000K 300,000mcd 0.5w 10mm 40degree angle 3.8v 100mA 5-chip
