$50 all in-no contract(included 50 gift card for accessories lol)
iPhone 4 is 0 dollars on a 3 year contract. (you're gonna have a phone either way with or without a contract)
Comes with one year replacement warranty. (apple replaced my brothers phone after he jumped into a pool with it)
And then the benefit of having endless amount of apps. (kamasutra app totally worth 99 cents)

This tells me you can justify why you spent "X amount" on your Iphone. Now the question is can you justify the money for an LED fixture? Are the feature's of this fixture or any other fixture worth it to you?

I'm not sure I follow.. What's the difference? I have an LED light that I use to light my tank sometimes, and it does happen to have a phone feature. It is called the iPhone4.

But this fixture puts out light and grows corals just like a metal halide or t5

Maybe this just seems too much for me because I'd have to spend over 5 grand on these fixtures where as my 1000 watts of metal halides cost me 600

If this fixture could promise to never grow cyano, I'd be all over it :)

I think you have to be a little silly (yes, I said silly, it's fairly pg) to not realize that LED prices have dropped exponentially since they first hit the market.

some cost more, but have way more features.
Its an emerging growth market and when thats the case, prices have but one way to go long term...down.

I don't get the hype people get over lightning storms.... after spending about 7 years of the last 20 at sea, I can honestly say I have seen only one lighting storm. living in victoria for 20 years I can count the lightning storms on one hand. lightning is more common in dry enviorments than it is in moist ones so why are so many people trying to make lightning on there tanks? now if you want to get realistic install a bunch of fans that can blow 1/2 the water out of your tank onto the floor then you have a hurricane simulation :mrgreen:

The iPhone4 is outdated and has been replaced with the newer iPhone4S which people are eating up apparently.

That's a sweet deal tho! Where can I get a new iPhone4 for $0? I tried Bell, Rogers and Telus and none of them have that on their websites.
