    It could support SPS, the edges may be a little bit darker but with two that shouldn't be a serious problem, or not a problem at all. The FishNeedIt is cheap but you ALWAYS want the best stuff, it's always worth it.;)

    The led fixture I'm buying is only 160$, dimmable and I think it would fit perfectly on yours.. 24"?
