led for 7 gal help

[Alf]

Ok I have done so much reading about led's it makes my head hurt. I would like a simple LED setup that will grow any coral I would want. If I go DIY kit I want dimmable control.
Tank Is like 15 7/8" x 9 3/4"
here are some options i have found Please add you thoughts or recommendations

Not sure I like the heat sink here as there is no hood for this tank to put them in. is this worth $150+ ?

i use the wavepoint 16 1w leds with white and blue, lots of blue makes the colors pop. i picked up my clip on at dallas north aquarium and use it on my 7g nano reef

I have 11 3w over my pico that is 16x8x8. 8 blues, 3 whites. Blues are running at 700ma, whites at 350ma. Growth has been great and i love the way it looks. Pm me if you want more details.

I have one of these on my 3g pico, it looks good and works well. The other option I would consider for your tank would be:

The RapidLED and aquastyle kits you posted would also work quite well. The aquastyle kits max at 650ma because of the drivers but the RapidLEDs can go to 1000ma+ depending on whites or blues, but know that the higher you run them te more heat you will get.

I would steer clear of ebay kits because there too much of a lock of info on them and no proven growth to be seen around.
