    I’m not positive, but I am considering buying one of these.
    24 LED Aquarium Blue Strip Light Fish Tank Waterproof | eBay

    But I have some questions that I would like to get some opinions on.
    Would it benefit my corals at all?
    Would I have to worry about extra fees because it is from another country?

    It will make your corals POP but you could DIY one like KnightRida for 100$

    i was also concerned about this. Saw them on ebay also. I dunno how wellt hey would work to supplement. I was considering them for moonlighting. Seems like my 150W halide would overpower it.... But yea, it says buye rmust pay any fees. Kinda a scary thought.

    Hard to see the picture of the individual LED's, but it looks like the ones below. It may do okay as moonlights but doubt it will do much in terms of supplementation.

    I’m just worried customs would add a bunch of import fees (or any fees) that I would be responsible for.

    They are more for moonlighting. I got one for a moonlight but never got to putting it together.

    If it won’t help the corals then I guess I won’t get it.
