    you could pull the fixture apart carefully and try runnig some rapid leds through the existing fixture and just rewiring thte whole thing.

    I thought you would go with the 30, ha ha. I'm still going to say go with the 38. Even if it's just for the fact that the colors are better. 30's are two color, this one is four. (New) 7 LED PAR38 Bulb

    What happened with som3 reef3r? Did he ever get his LED bulb in?

    i havent asked him? ill send him a message in a short while and check up on it. i know the par 38 looks really good but i just don tlike the look of a desk lamp over my reef nano. haha as you can see the fixture on this is really nice and nicely attached.

    it was a great deal, got it at petsmart for 45 bucks. excapt the filters not the best especially being in the tank. but the lights look really good.
