That's really nice, I have been contemplating with doing something off the shelf as opposed to Steves LED (have it for my 130). Was debating on getting a less expensive alternative, did you look at any of the T5 LED bulbs or any other solution such as a assembled LED light bar?
After doing a lot of research and reading I decided to go down the LED road.
I did not want to compromise my existing setup in case I wanted to revert back to T5, so I decided to go with a pair of Hydra HD 26's.

These bad boys fit perfectly into the existing T5 cavity without having to remove anything. There is enough room for air to flow over the top of them by the existing T5 cooling fans. If used at 50% then the existing fans can be turned off. The best part is I can design my own lighting spectrum and control it from my iPhone with the Hydra app.
A few pic's of my setup.
So far all my corals seem to be happy.
