What do you guys think of these LEDs?

You are the man Drew, I'm going to give this some more consideration for sure!! Would probably be too much for my FOWLR, but would definitely allow me some softies for sure in there. I think my ReefBrites are doing fine in there, but it would be WAY brighter/stunning with this kit. 
I totally think so, IMO. The rule of thumb I've always heard is 1w per gallon. So for a 225g, 225watts. That's why honestly I think I probably could've gotten away with just 120watts over my 110g, but added the ReefBrites just for good measure. Looks more stunning with more light. With ONE kit being 360 watts, my opinion would be two kits would be overkill. HOWEVER, if you have the money it would probably be worth it because they are dimmable and you could run them at 50-70% to extend LED life. I think you're on a budget though is why I say this.

That or CRW Reef is selling 2 - 120W EVO's for $400. It would not be as bright as 2 of the LED kits, but a LOT less work.
