still have some more to do, but for now:
3 strings of 12 crees. Decided to just go 50/50 with white/royal blue. Didn't feel like wiring up for "color" control.
Will be driving at 1amp max controlled by an APEX. Drivers powered by Meanwell ELN-60-48-D (anyone want some Ps? lol)
Top Radium (on icecap ballast) ~250watts
Bottom LED (@ 1amp or ~ 130watts)
Exposure settings are identical.
(please ignore the algae..I was so good about keeping it in check, then I got lazy and went on vacation 
)

Drivers + LEDs + heatsink = ~$300
Molex connectors $4
PSU cable +CPU fans + wire + heatshrink + solder + thermal compound = free (already had)
This guy should pull about 130watts @ 1amp. The goal is to replace my 250 MH. I'll soon see if it will

If you didn't get a deal on the drivers, LEDS & heat sink how much more do you think it would cost???
Not a whole lot more. Maybe another 10-15%.
