CHECK OUT THE TANK ON THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO, DOESN'T IT LOOK LIKE THE SAME TANK ON THE EBAY SELLER. THE YOUTUBE VIDEO IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER THE PACIFIC SUN LED LIGHTING. :question:

BUYERS BEWARE.:twised:

For the price they are asking for those fixtures on ebay, you are better off going to BoostLed and getting something similar for close to the same price.

I have seen people use two of the 135w Mu fixtures on a 90g with great success.

man that has higher PAR then Aquadigital's 1800 buck fixture for 1/10th the price :mrgreen:

if his PAR numbers are realistic then it is a screaming deal, if there not... but 1 watt LEDs work, just not the best you can get.

all i know is a LFS sells a rebranded version of that for 650 dollars

I saw one over at AI that looks identical...non controlable etc., I guess it would be fine for a FOWLR.

I read the return and warranty policy on the e-bay listing, I've bought quite a few things on e-bay and this policy would certainly scare me away quick if I was considering this product.

Not everyone's system needs the latest greatest 3 watt Cree LEDs. Looks like the fixture uses BridgeLux LEDs which I think are an established, good quality brand. This might be a great deal for someone to get into the LED market if only to save some money on their electric bill and still get a good amount of light. No reason you couldn't use this for a FOWLR or even a mixed reef tank if placed properly. Doesn't look like it's controllable/dimmable though, so that might be a consideration. Probably wouldn't be impossible to retrofit a dimmable feature though.

These are the ones that I'm running on my full SPS tank now. I replaced 3 x 250W halides with 3 of these. It has been about 5 weeks and corals are still maintaining good colour and growth seems normal. At least I think they are these ones. I ordered mine from ebay and for 3 of them were $1000 shipped. Mine are black though. They are brandless.

those are the ones im refering too, but i think the ones at AI are controllabe..... there's little red buttons on top that enable you to turn the LEDs on in 1/3rd sections
