It's not good. I would recommend sBox 30" SB Reef Lights,it's work great,best spectrum and cool features.

SB Reef Lights proprietary layout and spectrum
3 Channel (White, Blue and Moon)
Remote control
3 Power Cords allowing wall timers for each channel.
Moon light channel
327w (109x3w diodes)
Upgraded thicker heat sink
Upgraded, quieter fans - higher CFM flow
Mounting legs (30 to 48") Optional hanging kit also included
2 year USA warranty

Anthony, I like the fixture at first blush. It has 120 leds for just $156. That's pretty good and way less than the $260 for the SBox that colorful1180 mentioned. And I'd much rather have 1 power cord than 2, let alone the 3 in the SBox fixture. I also like the fact that it has more blue than white leds. And at least you know how many of each you get. All the SB ad says is they have the right ones... marketing BS if they don't give you the number and wavelength of the leds. colorful1180's list of 'features' just isn't anything special for $100 more money. Even the MarsAqua 300 tells you what leds you are getting and it's only $13 more than this fixture. Have you considered the MarsAqua 300?

On the other hand, what does it have for a heat sink? How quiet are the fans? And I don't understand the dimmer system?

But for the price it looks OK. I'd just lean a bit more toward the proven MarsAqua since a lot of people here seem to like it. I have no experience with any of these 3 fixtures. I'm going by specs and user comments here. I use EverGrow, ReefBreeders and OceanRevive.
