I picked mine up at Big Als on boxing day, but I did see the same ones at Petsmart so I wouls imagine it is the same cube It's pretty high, and is proving a little tricky to aquascape, but it was the perfect tank for me since I wanted to upgrade but had a small space to squeeze a new tank into.

14k and 20k bulbs offer far less (useable by sps) output compared to 10000k bulbs. the giesmann 13000k is supposed to have good output and a nice blue to it.

with 250HQI on a 24" tank it won't matter much you will still have plenty of PAR on the bottom of the tank with 14 or 20K bulbs.
