    From what I've read, which is a lot, there are TONS of better options out there for the same price or less, with more options available for around the same price.

    What size tank is this for?

    I basically want lights that are 100% LED. Price within 300-400ish and that dont not hang. And good to have corals and anemones.

    IF you could help I would totally appreciated. 8)

    why the no hanging rule, outta curiosity, that makes it harder. What current lights are you using?

    Agree, do a search. Many people have reported quality problems with them. They are very yellow and have very little output and really aren't priced competitively, for what you get anyways. For the price, there are lots of generic, chinese bridglux units, that I would really be much better even...

    are you opposed to building a small hood for your tank or a small book shelf to hang them from? This would really help you're options.

    Dont waste your time man, i wouldnt put one over my 75.

    I priced out a aquastle kit for 350 with 24 whites(50-50:10k &6500), 24 blues, 12 uvs, 12 cyans, with meanwell drivers and heatsink. I think if i ever get the $ to pull the trigger, thats what imma do. All with 60 optics. Look into it, im sure your capable of doing it. All dimmable too

    You sort of need to figure out what you want to keep and I didn't catch what size tank.
    Google, TaoTronics, Reefkoi, OCReef, E.shine, Boost LED. They are all pretty basic, but I would take any over the Marineland. There is lots of info on them. There are definitely better LEDs, but they get very pricey.

    Also, diy kits really are pretty easy...
