Can you post more pics?

Is the top black shiny or matte? Aluminium or plastic/acrylic?

I am wondering how this light compares to the eco pico led light? I have added 2 extra strips to my eco pico light (for 9 led lights/3 strips in total, white/blue mix) but I find that that colour of the corals (my zoas) is on the dull side and the sps is browning out. Just wondering if the mini led would be a better light for my 2.5g. Would it show the colour of the coral/colour up the coral better or are the led's on both lights similar that I wouldn't notice a difference? I'm debating on eventually adding 2 more eco pico led strips or just buying a better led light. Wondering which would be a better way to go. Thanks Laurie

I would say you will get much more light from the Aqua Mini. It uses Cree 3w LEDs compared to the 1 in the EcoPico. It also has a good color ratio for Royal Blue to White.
