rapid led sells a DIY 8 gallon led kit that I looked at recently for the biocube. You can probably check out their site for the specs on the heatsink that they use.

DIY LED lighting

I just received all the parts i needed from ebay to build a 20W 20K led light for my 2.5 AGA.

I will post pictures of all that is needed and the cost later, but it cost me $12 for the LED's i bought 5 10W 12 volt 20K free shipping. I will be using and old desktop power supply to light then and a custom built wooden hood.

Here is a link to what they look like, hope it works....http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mR2k6kukOX80kstAaxePVkw.jpg... ... as for heat sinks for those, just use a old CPU heat sink for each LED...Important .. dont forget the thermal grease on heatsink between it and the LED ...more to come
