well the link for the 1st item didnt work for me, but the 2nd link did, im not totally sure but the 2nd link with the halide and t5s seem like a very good buy tbo, it looks good but that does not necessarily mean its good quality, however for a 29 gallon id stick my neck out and say it looks good

not sure about this 1 tbo, looks ok with 6 t5 tubes, but im not feeling confident that it will work, the first 1 had a halide and t5s plus LEDs this is 6 tubes, in saying that i have 4 t5s and my corals love them, however because the item is alien to me i just would not like to say its good, hopefully some other guys will chip in and help out, sorry i just cant be more helpful on this particular item

There was an old thread about those lights.. and NO was the final answer.. a) he does not know how to spell Chords.. b) you get what you pay for.
