I could go on but I really do have better things to do these days.

Ok, you better start doing something else as the two examples here don't show your point at all, the residential ones are 1 watt emitters not 3 watt so way way less heat, and after doing some digging on that block of leds you linked to they use a patent pending cooling system, which happens to be peltier active cooling, which in its self is a cool idea, but not practical for fish tank lights as it would lead to a ton of condensation inside your fixture.
