    Well...I,don't have the tank setup yet,but I do have the lights hung and can say they are far more impressive than the t5's over my 55.

    Yeah,don't trust me on led's,lol,i'm not new to reefing,but this is my first set i've owned and just sayin the coverage over my 65,which is similar to your 40,is very good.And they have a much nicer look than my t5's.

    i found reviews online they sound great and if you look at it sounds like 199 is about what you would pay even if you did DIY (once you add in labor hours and such)

    I didn't want to build one,and I was an electrician for 23 years,lol.But,if you know what you're doing,they don't sound too hard to build and the plus side is you can always add on or change out colors later on.
