I purchased from reefledlights for my kit and was very happy with their service. The owner answered every email and question that I had.

For somereason I cannot pm yet on this site, but have read yours and JJoos99 post on leds and its been the most educational I have found. I have been laying out how I want to do mine, but wanted to know if I could chat with both of you sometime about what you learned and what you would do different. I could bring a pizza and discuss anytime you can do it. chrisjones1@cinci.rr.com

I will be leaving for Japan for 1.5 week on sat, man sorry to miss that!!! I would be there for sure. I was really curious about the spacing of the LEDs as I have not read anything about the distance apart and what you gain or loose with the spread. I have a bow front and an internal overflow so having the sinks in the correct shape will be critical I think as I plan to have them under a canopy and close to the top of the tank? or just blasting light will wash it out and dont worry about it.....dont know.
Here is a good long thread to read. Tons of great information there:
