p.tm Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi fellow reefers, I'm recently considering upgrading my lighting to led. There is this led light on ebay which is very affordable but I cant seem to find any info on it.. my tank is 2x1x1.5 this is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MR-120-LED-Aquarium-Light-Marine-Coral-Reef-55x-3W-SPS-Dimmable-Full-Spectrum-/301101657525?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461b0eadb5 Any advice would be appreciated. I'm deciding between this, the eshine aquabeauty 70w or the odyssea 60cm quad t5ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 From the available spec ,look ok. Missing spec is lens angle, and what brand of LED use. Also this is a very basic light set where you need an external timer to on/off it daily. With the shipping the price is reasonable Quote 6.5 * 2 * 2 + 3.75 * 1.5 *1.5,(Decomn on 14/9/08) 4*2*2 + 2.5*1.25*1.25 (Decomn on 1/8/09) 5*2*2 (Fully LED light system, 140 3 watt SSC leds with 60 degree lens)(Decomm) 2.5*2*2(Fully LED Light System,96 3 watt SSC leds with 60 degree lens)(Decomm) 5*2.5*2(LED only) Eheim return 1 * pump 1 HP Daikin compressor with cooling coil 2 Jebao OW40, 1 ecotech MP40, 1X6085 Tunze wm, 1 CURVE 7 Skimmer 1 DIY 80 led control by Bluefish mini 1 radion XR30W G2, 2 Radion XR15G3 Sump area lite by 5 ft T5 , 6 * SSC 3 watt red LED for refugium 1 Full spectrum E27 led light 1 CR control by bubble count Start No Water Change since 1st Dec 2016 Add new 2.5x2x 1.5 ft [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member oceanviper Posted February 26, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know a supplier from china has the same outlook of this. He is also one of the source which i get the leds for my DIY light set. Price wise about the same. Probably the diff is the shipping cost which depends on the items weight etc. Quote Tank : 3 x 2 x 1.8 ( setup end Feb 2014 ) --> 4 x 2 x 1.8 ( setup early Nov 2016 ) Skimmer : Bubble Magus NAC6 --> Bubble Magus Curve 7 Return pump : Jebao 10000l/h ( down in 17th December 2014 ) --> Jebao DC-12000 ( 19th December 2014 ) Compressor drop-in coil Wavemaker : Tunze 6105 x 1 Lights : Modular based DIY LED light x 4 Chaeto in the sump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member oceanviper Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 Bro how much did you spend in total for your diy set? Mind sharing your supplier's contact? Hi bro.

SRC Member oceanviper Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 And are the leds any good too? Depend on budget, they uses bridgelux or cree for premium products and Taiwan brand for low cost.

SRC Member erikokelf Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 I guess the only concern with online purchase will be warranty claim.
