I hear ya, just not looking to spend more then probably $250 or so. I might see what martin can offer in the DIY department too, or ask Ecoxotic how many modules or stunners would be ample

If you don't want plants then this can be an option, you only risk us much as $69. And fish looks good under these lights.

I have these lights on my Fresh Water Nano for about 3 month now and plant growth is good.

I friend of mine has the double bright Marineland LED and I have the cheap knock-off posted above from E-bay

They are OK as long as you do not have/want plants. It's low level lighting for most tanks (depending on the hight of the tank) but it does give a nice look to the tank.

If you want a planted tank, there are better options out there like the below

I got a this lamp for my planted nano tank http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aquarium-2-M...p2047675.l2557 and it has been running beautifully 24/7 for over a month and a half.

Growth rates are fantastic!

I just put a kessil A350w over my 55 corner bow front African cichlids tank. I tried the marine land led first, it wasn't too bad but wasn't really bright enough to make the fish colors "pop". The kessil is great.
