I am happy to report the water cooled LED fixture has worked "almost" flawlessly. I did have to replace two (I think) LEDs but I did get them from an old fixture and I don't know how old it was but I know many of the LEDs on it didn't work. I still have a bunch of them left over and they are not to difficult to change.
I have also been building other Steampunk stuff since then as I am in Steampunk Mode lately. I love anything metal, especially copper or brass. This first light is PVC and painted to look like aged brass. The second one was a red fire extinguisher. In both lamps the valve turns them on and the first one has bubbles generated in the water.

Seeing how I live in a cold climate and heating my big tank sucks up electricity like there's no tomorow I've often thought about ways to capture the heat and use it to heat my tank.... But in no way did any of my ideas look like that lol! Cool though I must say

Cabinetman, I also live in a cool climate, but not as cool as you. For electricity I installed solar panels that save me $1,500.00 a year and I also installed a condensing boiler. My heat bills went from $5,000.00 a year to $960.00.
It was 17 degrees here this morning and it is snowing fairly hard now. You probably got two feet of snow already
