Lighting DYI for Nano.

So I am slowly putting stuff together for my son's tank.
I hated the PC lighting in the Aqua Pod so I went with these.

I am posting now because they are on sale at Amazon as cheap as it has been.
I found it at http://companioncaterers.com/ a bit cheaper. But Amazon is better if you want it sometime quickly.

The kit is pretty cool. one square box with two tubes with the LEDs coming out of it in tubes.
The kit is nice in that it has two dimmers all the splitters, power supply etc.
Installation should be easy. You can find a nice video on it somewhere..PA maybe.

Maybe the quality isn't as good as some of the reefbuilders but for my son's room it should be perfect. And you cannot beat the price at this point.
 
Gotta say that's not a bad price for what's included. Only thing I don't see is the wattage for the LEDs.
I went with their stunner strips and the current usa dual ramp timer pro since it has a lot of flexibility..I think I have about $175 tied up in my lights now.
2 of those strips put out a lot of light given their wattage for this tank.
I actually have 2 more strips to add once I get the tank acclimated to the first 2. I would have done it all at once but I second guessed myself and waited to see how much just the 2 would put out before I ordered the second pair.
 
They are the Pro not just the stunner strips FYI. I couldn't come close to the price either with building piece by piece or any of the DYI kits.
I will check the total watts later. I think I saw at one point but I forget.
