$70.
To calculate: pick your fixture, put it in shopping cart.
Click on shopping cart (top left of the screen) click calculate shipping cost, choose your location postal code etc, click calculate.
There will be 3 options but I think more expensive does not mean faster shipping it will be 3 weeks anyway so when I buy from them I always pick the cheapest.

having said all that, I don't know how good the fixture is even though they say its a Cree LEDs and this very well may be, but quality of the build and electronics is a big question mark.
I got few things from them: Protein Skimmer, Calcium reactor and overflow box. All works great. But I have no idea how LED light will work we might want to look for some reviews before making a decision.

Also i would ask for a manual pdf download first because if its in Chinese (like mine for Calc reactor) it might be hard to figure out.
He speaks good english but very basic, so make yourself very clear and sometimes he needs explanation on what exactly do you mean.

Does anyone know what angle is better 60 or 90 degrees for corals?

I ordered one EVO led from aquatraders and should be here next week. Then I could set it up and let you guys know how good/bad it is. I believe I should be OK cause I have only softies and LPS.

I found a LED for reef tank in the following link very interesting, they show the PAR value at different water depths. Aslo you can pick it up locally in Vancouver.

i bought the aquatraders evo 3w led and am happy with it. i am new to this hobby and didnt want to spend $1000 on lights when my system is dedicated toward fish, and the odd coral i have the courage to try. the light is very directional and spotlightish, but i like it and think its worth the price. all i have for coral is 1 wellsophyllia(i think) and a kenya tree and both are happy under this light. it is a thin fixture and doesnt cover the width of my tank that great, but overall i am happy. i will try to post some pics shortly although it looks better in person than in the pics
