You have been looking for this set up for a while and nobody has offered you what you are looking for and price you are willing to pay.

Tis hobby is NOT cheap....even if you found what you are looking for, it will cost you a lot of cash to buy live rock, livestock and all the other stuff that's needed to run a successful set up.


Good luck!

Started the hobby trying to be cheap back in June. The first 500 investment for a beautiful tank stand lights and sump wasn't up to par. Now after we'll over a thousand more invested we are content with our set up. This was after looking at cheap stuff like those led lights you posted.

There are always exceptions but likely your looking at stuff that is under par for what most reefers in the hobby.
