Fort used LEDs in his 12g long thread. That may be worth checking out.
In general and in my opinion, LEDs are a viable alternative to fluorescent technology, but it still has 5-10 years before it can compete with T5HO technology in terms of output, results, AND price. They're just too expensive right now to get what you need, unless you DIY yourself a fixture (in which point it may be comparable).

I have an Archaea 45cm LED fixture on my rimless 10g http://www.adana-usa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72_74&products_id=667
Expensive fixture, but I fell in love with the look of it
Grows many of the same plants my mini CFLs grow, but the "spread" is less. The corners of the tank are darker. Luckily I love Crypts, so I put lots of Crypts as well as other random stuff. I need to update my pics, but there are some in my profile or linked at the bottom.
