I still think a plexi or glass box filled with mineral oil and LEDs could work out. Lower voltage, not as bouyant, and even if you did spring a small leak, which I think is HIGHLY unlikely if you are careful, I dont think mineral oil in small amounts would hurt a reef tank.
How about fiber optics? It will keep all of the electricity out of the water. You can also use spa light housings. 12v transformers/spa lights are also available.
I've not yet had a need to. But castable plastic is a good option perhaps. Ive been waiting for the day encasing LEDs in clear plastic would be needed so I could do it. Ive used the product before. Pretty easy to work with. Smooth-on make a whole array of it. Thier customer support is fantastic and would help select something suitable and always seem to have the answer. Good material for the DIY guy to be familiar with anyhow.
