What are you thinking for LED's? Manufactured or DIY?

I wish i had the time for a DIY as im crafty workin on all them grinders n welder power supplys during shutdowns lol....
But if i can keep hitting the 4 foot led's for a good price.... i think 4 of them with 2 4 foot 4bank T5s will do till i get some downtime and build my own.
Sure seems like a headache at full retail but slightly used.... Its the same as a few MH setups that I know ill be flipping in 6 months anyways

I couldnt believe how much more light gets to the bottom of the tank with led's vs T5s and even though it dosent seem brighter its way better to see everything if that makes sense.... Like fishing with polarized glasses you can see through the water alot easier
