    Looks like aquastyle does have some good prices. I just dropped some $ on some boosted par 30's and some fixtures.

    I like the OCreef one and its great deal. Is pretty much equal to this:

    OCReef XP-E® 60 W CREE™ LED Aquarium Light with 3 W High Intensity LED's

    I emailed the guy a few times and he told me that the main dif. between the two is just the assembly of it and the warranty.

    I have to tell you that for the DIY KIT you can ask for a diffrent set up if you want and, for more lights in UV or whatever color you may be interested if the have it.

    I still got the emails I sended to him and the replies. He quote me a 26 LEDs (2 extra UV LED's) for $200.00 including the extra needed hardware for the installation.

    For the aquastyle website it was not worth it for me cause they come from overseas and they charge you for the shipping and the charges are based on location,location,location. Versus the guys from OCREEF that offer free shipping. And faster//better response for all the questions I asked.
