    They actually aren't much good for a reef, not very bright at all. Good for fish only tank though.
    If you plan on corals, I would invest the money somewhere else, plenty of fixtures available for reasonable prices.

    i wouldnt waste the money... if you want a cheap led fixture, that i know will work, get one of the ones off ebay for like 160$ a fixture.... not sure how long the last, but i know they grow sps in a 24" tank... i have a couple buddies that have them and they work...
