Nice! I love strip lights for the even distribution. Not sure it matters much but when I built I put more space between the inner two rails and reduced the spacing between rails by 1/3 each time as I went out toward the edges to even put the intensity.
 
yeah I think the ideal way to get the spacing right would be to use a PAR meter.... your aquarium place might rent them out if they do planted tanks...
Just spacing them out even does OK. I think you'd get a tiny bit more square footage out of the correct spacing though.
 
I have been wanting to build my own light but have been unsuccessful in finding big enough heat sinks. Anyone have links? Thanks ahead of time

What are you mounting to a heat sink of that size?
