I'm juz worried abt de bendy thingy cord holding the clamp to the LED..I'm pretty sure it gets rusted easily..unless u coat it with vaseline often?

ive run this light set on another tank for a few months.. definitely got saltwater spray on it before.. seems fine leh.

I thought you sold this lightset for $40 some time back?

Or is this another lightset?

It is better to use pure white (warm white is even better) for optimal cheato growth.

This is another light set. Think I've seen pure white Beamswork 6x3w before.. Can probably get that instead.

There is a freshwater version for this lightset, 6x3W 6500K.
