Man, I can probably find mine if you really want it. I only used it for about a couple of weeks.

I replaced it with a desk lamp. It gives me more bulb options and I can get a higher wattage bulb. On a side note, I went to Reefstock last weekend. You should go over to reef builders and check out the pics they have of the LED lights running over a picotope. Nanocustoms makes them. They were amazing to say the least!

what are you talking about? you was given 3 or 4 different ideas, but you disregarded those because your being cheap. everyone knows this is an expensive hobby, if you cant afford get rid of your stuff! go buy the desk lamp as mentioned before and call it a day.

who says i can't afford it or im being cheap? im looking for the stock pico light

why would i pay $300 for an LED fixture on a pico? thats just pointless. i already did call the website and they dont sell it seperately. desklamps are not the same lighting used for an aquarium. if you are here to give a negative post, why post at all just ignore the thread all together

First this is not a selling forum, and second we need to lose the attitudes here.
