    Is there a 24months warranty on the replacement unit?

    huh little disconcerting about a brand new failed unit... though i guess there's a level of that to almost any product. At least they are standing by the warranty! Must say you guys are swaying me pretty heavily in this direction. I'd love to just do an all DIY cree or lux build but i mean really? 55 Cree's for under $300? Just can't beat that from what i've seen (speaking of the reefbreeders unit here...) and my wallet will unfortunately win out in the end...

    My experience with him thus farhas been great. He covers all warranty issues her in the States. You could get that unit for $269 in the group buy if you decide to go in that direction.

    i love how you have it in the middle so you can grow stony coral in the middle then lps farther on the side and then leathers and softies on the outer edges. has a great effect on the overall appearance of the tank. good work!

    yeah, i noticed later on the cree units have only 40 but still, that's not a horrible price for the all inclusive package. Doubt i could match it $for$. I'm actually liking the idea of the Bridglux RGB unit with the UVs and such... Would prefer cree but the diversity and cost savings is a big factor so...
