Looks like a cool build. I'm would keep a close eye on your LED setup though. Those high wattage LEDS may look nice on paper but they are much more inefficient then good quality 3W LEDs (i.e fewer lumens per watt and more heat per watt). Given the higher heat you will experience with them your cooling may not be up to the task. It's a neat idea but I think you would have to run very cold water through those pipes to make it work. The reason most people use heatsinks and fans is to maximize surface area for heat dissipation and having the fans running air over that large surface area to cool it.

Good luck and I'll be along for the ride now.

I took a picture of it in the alcove where I have been gluing things... it's too heavy to put in the ocean... I would have to brake it into pieces to get it up the beach.

LOL that's a good idea... oh well too late for that one... or no nm not a good idea... the water would be pushing in helping to seal any leaks that may be present... then when you go to fill it you may have a sieve... LOL
