Very similar if not identical to the one I got off eBay. I wish they had more blue then white, other then that no complaints.

I thoaught someone on here had similar ones. Couldnt remember who.
How are they for growth jerry. Do you think i would need more than one above a 4 foot tank.
Also, how high above tank did you put them. My tank is 24 inches deep.

I just got an identical unit for my frag tank to test out.  I had them customize the colour with 8 UV, 12 cool white, 4 warm white, the rest blue.  I've had it going for 2 weeks - still have it on the lowest setting - I am cautiously ramping it up.  I think it will be OK (no idea on growth yet).  I would 2 for a 48" tank - probably 6 to 10 " off the water (I didn't use optics).

I like that the blue/UV and white/blue channel dim separately so you can get the colour blend you like.

if you can get them custom like seggsy did, it looks like a good deal equivalent to a diy setup without the diy'ing and in a nice package. his color combo is what I would go with also, covers everything nicely, you can cover 2' per fixture so you need 2 of them.
