I do like the idea of a 100 watt LED as you could do smaller tanks with 1 small pendant. you can pick up a 100 watt 4500K chip for about 60 bucks so I kinda question the price of these also.
I was wondering if you could put different colors on a chip, now I know you can. I have a high school buddy who lives in china and is the ceo of a large exporting company who also do LEDs I wonder what kinda deal I could get for us.

I really don't get the popularity of 4500 & 4100K yellow/green chips. LEDs are generally "whiter" than MH of the same advertised colour temp so they are like using 3600k MH. For the past 30 years fluorescent and MH users have abandoned anything below 10k, so what's with the retro yellow/green chips?
Warm white chips have very little blue and lots of green, but they are also weak in reds. If you want red, then add dedicated 660nm red chips. If you want green, 7,500K Cree chips are extremely green as they are designed as desk lamps.
