Ecoxotic has great customer service

It depends on what kind of tank you are mounting it on. I do not recommend mounting these inside a canopy. I had 2 panarama pro modules that burnt out the led terminals. I contacted Ecoxotic customer service and told them the issue and they set 2 new ones out right away, but eventually the two new ones had the same issue. These lights really need to be hung in their fixture or over an open top tank. I had two 4" fans mounted above them I had 3/4" spacers between the light and canopy. These new fixtures are a bit different and for $100 I would get it

 

i have had my 3 ecoxotic panorama pro's mounted inside of my biocube hood for over 3 years, but there is a plexiglass divider between them to protect the lights from salt creep.

every tank is different, but i love my panorama's. although there are probably more cost effective alternatives than the ecoxotic brand
