I have a custom nano tank and need to have lights that fit within a 6x6in area. Anyone out there know how to make lights, or use a heat sink with led's. I will pay you to make me something or send me in the right direction. Please PM me. THanks Brit

I would just buy a BoostLED PAR30 bulb or the PAR38 shown above. Sometimes you can find them for sale used on the Nanoreef forums too.

Take a look at nanotuners.com. They have parts and kits for all different types of nano tanks and diy builds.

i'm willing to help you with a LED setup.

from a cost perspective, the bulb in the first link is going to be the cheapest.

you could also get a custom heatsink from heatsinkusa.com that measures ~5x5" and put some CREE LEDs on that.

im happy to help you select parts, etc. and am willing to do some of the electrical work for you.

what are the dimensions of the tank? what time of hood/lid/canopy does it have?

What are the dimensions? The Kessil LED looks good for nanos and should fit. The only issue I see with it is it isn't dimmable.
