36" Lighting upgrade

Hey everyone. I am in the market for a new lighting upgrade but am on a budget. I would love to get LEDs. From what I read they are just what I am looking for. I am wanting to start keeping some SPS in my 46G bow front.

I currently have 2x96w Coralife PC lighting. I would like to go ahead and get a lighting upgrade because just replacing bulbs for this fixture is expensive!

I have looked into Taotronics 120w LED fixture and that is definitely affordable. My concern is that if one fixture would be enough or would I need two? Would the center brace on the bow front aquariums be a problem?

Another route I have thought about going was a DIY LED build. Although I have never done anything like this, I am confident I could figure it out. I am wondering what type of cost I would be looking at to build a suitable fixture for a 36" bow front to keep SPS. Can anyone give me a price estimate or point me in the right direction?

Finally, my last option would be to go with T5 lights; however, I would really prefer to go with LEDs if I can find a way to fit them into my budget.

Any help/advice appreciated!

 

I'd ask kevin on his taotronics thread about how many, but prob 2 especially if ya want sps.

As for DIY, aquastyle.com is the cheapest, prob a 72 led system would work
Aquarium 72 LEDs Dimmable DIY LED kit with optics

or the better option is rapidled 48 kit
48 Ultra Premium LED DIY Kit with Dimmable Drivers - Rapid LED

about $200 verse $500 but rapid is top notch!

If ya decide to do the DIY, ask about the setup before ordering, you're gonna wanna tweak some stuff!
