And nothing against him at all I just don't personally know him.
It'll be easy to spot him if he takes off, his house will have $2000 worth of CREE LED's in it, you could spot it from google maps lol.

Maybe mark doesn't know what he's talking about...or possibly (and more likely) there are different grades of "PAR 38" bulbs, and he's familiar with the $2 Chinese knockoff ones??
12 of them for a frag tank just seems like overkill...and expensive

12 really isnt unrealistic.
cant remember which ones i was looking at that said they were only good for about a sq ft of coverage. so, a 4ftx4ft tank would be 16 sq ft.
remember... they are talking about maximum potential. i have seen many people use one or two of them over a 2ft cube. so that would be 4 or 8 of them over a 4x4 tank.

Well there's 12 LEDs in each par bulb, so 144 LEDs on an 8" (I assume he didn't really mean it was 8 feet deep) frag tank is insane. I only have 108 or so on a 2' deep 125 tank, so 144 would just bleach the living hell out of everything. That's why I say he might not be familiar with these bulbs

i realize its only an 8" tank... but its still 4x4 footprint or something like that. so still 16sq ft of coverage is required.
because the tank is shallow, it would require the lighting to be raised higher, which will broaden the light coverage, but at the same time, the added height away from the tank would lessen the par value.

Hmm, I still think that's overkill, probably 48" heatsink strips would be better, maybe 90 bulbs with 80 deg optics. even with drivers it would likely be close to half the price of the par bulbs (a lot more work though).
I'd like to see 144 bulbs on a frag tank though, man if the frags could stand it they would be spectacular. The problem is if they were acclimated to that much light, they wouldn't stand a chance in a regular tank

yup you gotta think its only 8" deep.. light doesnt dissapate nearly as much through thin air like water. i would go with 6 bulbs tops and keep them 30" above the water. personally crees are over rated imo the 120 led kit from aquastyle online is a much better deal.
So here is the details from RapidLED
If the order is over $2,000 we can offer a 10% discount, if it's over $3,000 we can offer a 12% discount, and if it's over $5,000 we can offer a 15% discount. Like I mentioned it's not a problem to ship separately, we would just have to charge for each address that we're shipping to (rates will depend on how heavy each package is).
I am somewhat confident we can achieve $2000+ over the next week, $3000+ seems like a stretch. 10% is not great, but better than full price. Can we achieve $2000+?
Im good for about $450, also I will be going to pick stuff up in Michigan, so shipping is FREE!
