Looks awesome!! You may want to rethink your powerbrite configuration. You should configure them so they can be angled. It will allow you to adjust them. It really helps when u do that because they are VERY directional.
 
+1 on the powerbrites. Not knocking you , but when I first saw the thread I was thinking cool custom mini nano. 4"x4"x16".........4'x4'x16" ;) Nice start anyways.

i figured the way i set them up the would cover a large part of the tank. which gives me the option to place the nice stuff right where they shine and the soso stuff every where else. But that is a great idea. once i hang the lights it will give me a chance to see if i Can place them differently
