Light Comparison

Ok one strange thing, on their eBay ad for the pair, the ratios are 1:1 (28 white / 27 blue) LED's. Wonder why they're different than the single model.
I'm practically sold, considering the price & features. Wish you were closer to Denver. I'd like to see them live before jumping on one. Still looking at some others in the same price-range, for my 29g.

I would say do it. Totally worth it. I just would like to figure out which reef controller will be able to control them since they have a variable resistor to dim them. That is the next big thing for me. Or some sweet Zoas. Maybe both, but probably just the Zoas. You should just come on up and look at them. Totally worth the drive. Or just take my word and buy them and save yourself some money on the drive up.
Just an FYI, Springs to Ft.Collins is a looooooooong drive, lol. Yeah I'm down for a group buy, but don't know if there are enough people to buy 10 locally. Throw up a thread to gauge interest. I'm down for one at least, possibly two. Pending research on the controlling ability from Apex/RK/RA...
I emailed the seller (AJMaquatics), and they said it would be no problem switching LED colors around custom too. No charge, but UV's are a tad more expensive, so if you want to add UV LED's, add +$3 each to replace a blue or white. Would a few more of those help show off certain types of corals with more flourescing colors?
(LED n0ob that hasn't read much about full-spectrum colors yet...)

Not trying to be cheap, just that $800/pair doesn't appeal to me.
Bad news about controllability (without doing some hacker customization, heh):
That's not a deal-breaker though, gonna see what else out there, can't beat the price. Much rather do these, than some cheapie AquaTraders/Odyssea 2w lamers in that price-range. If ya want cloud-cover, storms, etc. control, than maybe a kit route is the way to go. Or maybe I'll sell my Orpheks and buy a high-qual setup that does everything.
