IMO -
You would easily get away with 1 Ai Sol - 399$ Which is a decent price to pay for LED Lighting.
How much are you going to pay for a DIY Kit and price your time building and fixing and tweaking your design to get it just right. You add dimming and knobs your adding more parts to incorporate and maybe go wrong.
For how small you will need I don't think the DIY will pay off in the long run. If you had a 5-8Foot Tank which would cost you 1000's of dollars to light by all means DIY away.
