Still new to reef but not light diy. A hydro 26 equivalent that is resonably easy to assemble would look like:
Rapid led heatsink 40+s/h
2-3 48watt pucs from blue acro 110-165
Drivers 30-40
Bluefish mini controller 100 ( cheaper options available but if you want to duplicate functionality this is only simple game in town)
Power supply 20-40
So 290-375 for first light. Prolly can save 100 per light after the first since you don't need to duplicate the bluefish mini.
Could maybe save on the LEDs with a more manually put together array but not a ton.
