The ecopico light at modular led is supposed to be quite good as long as you add some of the side strips to it...and that is a Canreef vendor

yes I have seen and heard good things but I dunno if I have the room to fit it because of the filter. its a wide base for that type of of lighting system. Any articles out there on modding the Fluval spec light for more royal blue and actinic lighting?

I have the Eco Pico Arm and yes it is wider than the tank if you put it on the back. I have mind on the side (ends) of the tank and is just perfect. It hits the whole tank that way.

I also ordered the extra two strips for a total of 3 is all you can fit on this arm. So far love the light alot.

If you do get it make sure when you are connecting the three lights into the main extension you give them a good push to hear the click otherwise you will not get full power on the lights like I did (stupid me...)

with the ecopico led lighting system I can house 4 strips or only 3? and Also is it required to buy additional power sources per led strip or do i just plug them into the fixture and then the one power source?
