    Is this a quality product? I'm looking to get the 24" with 2x actinic and 2x 10000k. Will I be able to support Sps? Are the bulbs quality? Does it run cool? This will be for my biocube 29.

    Thanks.

    I ran one of their fixtures on a mainly sps 125g for a few years with great results.
    I would reccomend getting better bulbs than the stock ones such as ati's.

    I agree that you should upgrade the bulbs shortly after getting the unit. I have heard they run a little on the hot side, so just be carefull with it.

    gboy. I'd be willing to buy if you are able to ship it. You can pm me for the price, that is, if you are selling it. I was about to buy the same setup ;D

    Sorry for interrupting. I won't steal the thread anymore lol :-X

    swimswithfish. I've heard that they are pretty good setups.
