And still over double, maybe even triple what a decent par 38 would cost...that's IF you can find one in stock somewhere.

I'd rather have a prime, anyone would...but in this case, I think MOST would agree its overkill.

Even with tax it's not $300.

I'm not a fan of the PAR38 bulbs because they are ugly as shyte, and some of them would have too much PAR for a tiny frag area. I guess some people don't care because it's in the sump, and some people have lots of space in the sump for a PAR38. I like that the Prime looks nice and takes up very little space. It's perfect. In all honesty though, light in the sump area sucks because then you get algae (like coralline bah!) growing in the reactors and skimmer. A person can add some black acrylic/glass sheets to help protect from light spill though.
