So I wanted LEDs for my tank because I like the shimmer effect. So I did some searching and found a 10w LED 12v flood light on ebay. I put two of them on my 125 and it is just about perfect with a slight dark spot in the center of the tank. I may add one more but I doubt it. I think the two 10s is just about perfect and looks great. This video does not do the tank justice now!

Do you have a link to what type or brand they are ??
 
I have 3 of those, great lights but id suggest to get the cool white vs warm white, cool white I think is 6500k

That looks perfect for what I need. Does it come with everything? I just plug it in and I'm ready to go?
 
I did get the cool white. I might put a 3rd one in the middle and put a blue film over it for a moon light. No, you will need a power supply. I used an old laptop charger, but you can find a 12-24v supply on ebay for under 15 shipped.
