Large tanks with LED's

Any of you guys using LED's on your large tanks? If so can you give me a link or post photos?

I have a 360 96x36x24 I'm running four 400w mh's with Ice Cap ballast, four 4' T5's Ice Ballast, and a 1/2 HP Pacific Coast chiller. My power bill has went from $150 to $325.. :eek2:

I came across this thread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1587273&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 about DIY LED's and thought I might try it. I'm not sure how much money it would save, but it would have to help on the power bill and at $125 a month it couldn't take long to pay for itself. I also like the light better.

Anyone have any advice or opinions?
 
I've hit some delays in my project unfortunetly, but I intend to run LED and T5 lighting on a 30" deep tank. I'm actually looking toward some of the greenhouse lighting favored by those that grow some of the more 'low profile' plants and need to avoid excess heat.
