Couple of quick questions , OK?

AM interested in doing a tank lighting project that uses only Luxeons.
I know they produce a fair quanity of heat etc, but there is some
terminology I do not quite understand.

What is a PUCK?
What is a SLUG?
What is a DRIVER?

Best I can figure out a Puck is a device that regulates the input
power?

Yes, and it is in a form of a hockey puck - thats all the magic.
The goal is to make it simple for the custommer to make custom
configurations of the light sources.

Best I can figure out a Slug is a heat sink or a thin piece of
between luxeon back portion and the circuit board or heat sink??

Looks like you are correct: http://www.luxeon.com/pdfs/AB10.PDF

Best I can figure out a driver owld be the power supply or a PUCK
perhaps??

I would guess, the driver is a generic term describing power source
for the light elemement. This power source can be in the puck or
any other form...

I want to use a Luxeon 1 or 3 watt for fuge lighting on my PICO tanks,
and I want to make a PICO illuminated with nothing but Luxeons for
daylight lighting, and then use LEDS for Lunar, and possibly add in
some Red/Yellows for a sunrise/sunset effect.....and of coarse some UV
for color enhancement of florescent critters as well.....Its the
Luxeon terminolory thats confusing me.

Before making investment in parts, I would check the light spectrum
these light sources produce. Is it similar to what fluorescent bulbs
give ? Or more similar to single wavelenght light LED produce...
Our marine animals are more sensitive to the quality of the light
spectrum than the human eye.
