    Thanks Kennedy,

    Pics would be greatly appreciative. Do you think that they give out good light? I am thinking of the 48" model for my 55 gallon. Also, do they get hot or do the fans do a good job of keeping them cool? Thanks!!!

    Thanks for the pictures and information on the lights Kennedy. They look nice and I especially like the moon lights.

    I got one of these in the 24 inch version a couple of days ago. So far I am very impressed. Less heat and more light compared to my old PC's. The single cord and electronic timer really cleans up my cabinet. The timer is easy to set, seems to keep good time. has settings for auto, on, and off settings, even has a DST feature.

    I have the 30" version and it has been amazing. Many of my corals have opened up like never before. I love that it came with the legs and mine does have a fan built into it. 5 Stars on the brand and the results so far :). I purchased mine from Marine Depot as well.

    i have the 48" model and i absolutely love it. i did change the original bulbs it came with because the light was too white for my taste, but other than that - this fixture is highly recommended. my maxima clam loves it as well :)

    I have had these lights for about 3 months now and love them. The fans on them are really quiet. I have the 36" 4x39w. I have some pictures of them on my 40b build.
