because i have not seen a single diy unit suited to hang above an open tank unless your tank is located in a mechanic/welding shop(in my opinion).

I assume you missed this from Sphelps 100 gallon build thread (hope you don't mind me reposting your pic Steve):



I've seen a few nice DIY LED units that I would say are just as asthetically pleasing or nicer than most commercially available units. Mind you, you're going to need some mad woodworking or acrylic skills to pull it off. The fixture Sphelps built above is probably the nicest one I've seen completed so far.
