Hahahaha Balitaan mo ako sa results.
*edit: (Para sa mga nag-PM re lights)
Here is a nice thread regarding fully assembled, inexpensive plug-and-play multichip LED floodlights - which BTW will be the type of lighting I will be using. (See crappy illustration on the previous page)

As you can see, medyo matagal-tagal ang planning ko dito. It took me several months to decide what type of fixtures I'll use and where to buy them. Hinahanap ko rin kasi yung may pinaka-matagal na warranty.
Tip: If ever you will use similar fixtures, be sure to review the product carefully and read the description, assess the needs of your tank and check the customer feedbacks of the seller. Do not buy from a seller that offers too low a price, baka scammer lang yun. Take note of the seller's terms and conditions as well: Some offer 2 years warranty, some a week or so, so caveat emptor.
Always remember, you get what you pay for.
Meron ding mga available dito na ganyan, ranging from a couple hundred pesos to more than 2,000 Php. Depende sa wattage at sa pinagkuhanan. May mga cool whites din sa Divisoria at sa sulit. And I'm pretty sure meron din lalo na sa Raon. Regarding blues, medyo mahirap maghanap at kadalasan mahal.
Another thing: kung gagastos na rin lang naman kayo ng mahigit 2k para sa mga ilaw, bumili na lang kayo sa sponsors natin (like the PAR38 from aquariatech) o sa mga members na gumagawa at nagbebenta na ng plug-and-play customized fixtures o kaya naman magpatulong na lang kayong gumawa sa mga marunong sa electricals o may experience na sa DIY LED fixtures dahil sa kanila makakasiguro kayo sa quality; kaysa bumili ng no-brand LED fixtures sa hindi kilalang tindahan.
