Perhaps, but then you would expect to see them being sold off too...and I don't see too many used LED fixtures for sale.

first off, there arent that many around and in reality, one would need to accept the error of their ways before putting the item up for sale...

even then, could you sell the item to someone else in good conscience?

Mine is 30" deep and still getting excellent par values at that depth. The tank is SPS dominated, but do have Clam and Carpet Anemone in the sand bed. All are doing fantastic for 1.5 years now.

My tank is 96x24x24 how ever i have3 a light mover that i can use so on my tank now I'm using 3 x250's on a 96 " tank.
