    I believe either City Pets or Houston Aquarium Warehouse has the best prices on these. They are around $140 each for the 36"-48" fixture.

                        hey you guys with the marineland leds..do you guys keep the moonlights on all night? i was wondering if i should do it since the lights are on for about 4 hours a day on my tank during the day. with the white lights on, the blues are on as well. as if you were to run the blue leds during the night, that would add about 8hours of light. is it worth running the moonlights at night? kinda wish they had a mod to make the blues come on by themselves..

I haven't made a tank upgrade purchase in awhile and am pretty excited about these lights!!!! Getting firsthand information is really helpful. I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              You guys may want to try a DIY project...look at http://www.superbrightleds.com/
                              They sell all sorts of LED bulbs. LEDs give that nice shimmer to the water. Some folks do a combination of LEDs and T5's or T8's.
