Cheap Ebay Stunner strip
I am currently running 4 ati t5 bulbs on a 29g but want some more shimmer and flouresence of my corals, found a ebay seller (the_jonvh) that sells led strips and claims similar to stunner strips. Has looking at the blue atinic leds for like 30 bucks, has anyone used these, has lots of posistive feedback on seller, but would like some input, thanks.

It may be ok, it may not, your two indicators are cheap and eBay.

gonna give it a shot I think, 48" 75 425nm blue leds for 33 bucks, maybe it will be good maybe bad, better than blowing up 150 bucks on a stunner strip.

Hello. I've purchased several of his little stick on strips in various 'colors'. These work great for about a week, then mine dimmed to the point where there really is no light coming from them. I would suggest finding something else.

Also, these lights are like LEDs on tape. They have no houseing like real Ecoxotic Stunner Strips do.
Also, I noticed that he sells kitchen cabinet LED's. I am assuming that these are the same thing that he is trying to pawn off as stunners. He probably just gets these lights in bulk somewhere and puts them on eBay. Go to Costco/Sam's Club or someplace like that if you want to try them out and they will be cheaper and if they don't work you can then take them back.
