In my opinion, by the time you take into account your energy savings, there is nothing cheaper than a DIY LED fixture. Just my opinion.

You are probably right but I wanted to avoid the DIY thing. Someone suggested I try the ushio 10k bulb to make reds pop, would you all agree?

I have run the Ushio 10k on past tanks and they are very yellow, the Ushio 14k is much nicer. Not sure about popping red, but if you looking to pop the reds try to suppliment with fiji purple's. I have heard they pop red pretty good.
