    Just saw it at premiumaquatics.com and the price is really good. I was wondering if it's good and why is it so much cheaper than SLS or Icecap?

    Thanks!

    gkw,
    A few things I noticed you don't get to
    pick which bulbs you want.Standard Setup 2 Actinic and 2 Daylight.
    Also,I couldn't really tell by the picture but may only be one reflector
    for all 4 bulbs.Also didn't notice which ballast is included.Have you looked
    at any of the retro kits(only thing they don't have are the lunar lights)
    FWIW.

    Pros:
    Price
    Still better than any PC set up

    Cons:
    One large reflector IMO not as hugh of a deal as some make it but still worth while.
    Heard the fans are noisy.


    I would still buy it over a PC set up. SAW39 owns one you might ask him.
