    i dont think hell have to worry, my lfs put a few on their 75 gallon tank with 250 watt halides and you could tell a major difference. well its not a huge difference like i said it makes the light look cleaner, and shimmers. i believe Biocube put a couple stunners on his biocube and he posted some pics of it and it made a huge difference.

    Not trying to add additional confusion but have you looked at some of the DIY kits from RapidLED.com or ReefLEDLights.com? I made my own 36 watt, 48" strip for less than $150. Might be worth a look if you're budget conscious, like myself.

    LOL, I am very much so! I would like to get the out come I am shooting for, for under 100. What exactly did you purchase from which vendor?

    I use the Magenta/Royal Blue Stunner, things look really nice.

    Those pics were taken with just the stunner on, I use LEDs from RapidLED on my Biocube 29.

    They are only 80.10 @ Marine Depot today! That's 10.00 in savings!

    thanks for the pics biocube! i would not suggest doing diy its really just not worth it when you can get a cheap stunner fixture. there are several other companies that have comparable led fixtures to the ecoxotic stunners i would suggest shopping around a bit.
