    hmmmmm. really thinking about this for my 65g.'
    the 72 kit looks good. i can always dim them if its to crazy.
    the kit and 2 heatsinks from them is just over 300 shipped. not to shabby.

    the only thing im wondering is they give you 4 dimmable drivers with the 72 kit.
    that means each driver is running 18 leds.
    i thought drivers should max out at 12 leds?

    It's been more than a month and corals have never been better. My Chalice frags have taken off. Definitely worth buying instead of paying the big bucks for the USA brands. I'm for buying USA but for the price I couldn't pass them up an I'm glad I did.
