LED's
Ok so i have a 125 All glass reef tank, I have 3 250watt mh fixtures with 14k's which are 11x9x5 im pretty sure. So im looking for some extra lighting. I have about 2 inches on either side of the bulbs. Im thinking of going 2 strips on either side of each bulb. I know current makes strips but there kinda expensive. They would definitely have to hold up to the heat does anyone have any suggestions or better ideas? It was just a thought so looking for some input.

Look at several threads in the DIY forum. Here is a very good thread (it's even simpler if you don't use dimmable ballasts):
