best bang for a buck LEDs,?

yes if your going this route look for the new version. some people refer to them as D120 V2's. The link I put in the beginning of this thread are the new ones. the older style just have a flat piece of metal for the heatsink where these ones have fins for better cooling. as marshall stated only 2 fans also. plus the casing on the unit looks much better IMO compared to the taotronics style units.

 

Does each color have it's own power supply so I can have blues on early and off late?

 

Blues have there own plug and whites/colors have there own plug. So yep.

 

Awesome thanks for the response. One of the Amazon reviewers said their fan grates started to rust a little. I'm wondering if I should unscrew them and paint them high heat black or if that would void any warranties. I think I will go ahead and order one today to see how it is in person.

 

This unit seems to be the same for $50 less? Amazon.com: AQUAMANA AQ LED-55x3W Dimmable 165W Full Spectrum LED Aquarium Light Panel for Reef, Coral & Fish: Pet Supplies

 

The top one is the ones I bought, even cheaper then what you listed. I have 3 of them and they work great.

 

Oh I was looking at the blue/white version

 

the one you listed is full spectrum though?

 

Sorry...click on the blue/white version on Amazon's page
