recomendations for leds under $800

Hey guys, I was just looking for some suggestions. I figure I should have some extra cash after tax returns this year and I am looking into getting rid of my MH's and replacing them with LEDs. I would like to keep it under 800 if possible. The only thing i have in my tank that is worth anything to me is a blue haddoni anemone. I don't plan as of right now to grow SPS at all since i have really bad luck with their skin just disappearing overnight and no one has been able to figure it out. So right now I just have a bunch of leathers, clown fish and the big anemone. Its a 120 gallon 48"x24x24. Right now I am using 2x250 watt MH. My electric bill is brutal right now and I'm thinking that replacing the lighting might be the best route. Let me know what you guys think would work for me in that price range if you would be so kind. Thanks.
