I know, a thread like this without pics is not worth much sooooo...
Some quick pics of the LED array over the tank:  Pic 1: 12 x 10w 10000k (120 watts total)  Pic 2: 12 x 10000k; 3 x 6500k; 3 x 20000k (180 watts total)  Pic 3: 12 x 10000k; 3 x 6500k; 3 x 20000k; 8 x 455nm blues (260 watts total) The left side is open top, the middle has about 3 panes of dirty glass tops for the light to pass through, and the right side has one pane of dirty glass top to pass through. Thanks for looking.

OK. Time for an update.
So we're onto V2 or Version 2 of my LED unit using 10w emitters. My friend built V2 with more aluminum bars to create a bigger heatsink so NO fans are needed. It's completely passive cooling and no problems even at full power. Warm but not hot to the touch. I changed out the mix of colours to 6 x blue 445 nm; 6 x blue 455 nm; 3 x 6500k whites; 3 x 20000k whites & 10 x 10000k whites. I like a very blue look to my display tank so I may even switch out some 10000ks for more blues. As for how well V1 & V2 work for growing corals, I picked up a branching hammer mid-July with about 8 big heads and a few baby heads. Now it has a total of 47 heads on it (as of tonight) and the entire "branch" is covered when the lights are on. So roughly went from 17 to 47 heads in 3 months. It took a while for the LPS to adapt to the higher intensity of 10w LED emitters but now I can blast full power if I want (280w total over a 165g) without any issues. I usually have the blues on 100% and the whites at 60-80% though cause I like the bluer look. Will post pics this weekend hopefully.

Mine were ordered from DealsExtreme.
Good components, but terrible service. Too long to get my last order of emitters.
