Initial costs are high but maintenance costs would be low

I hope they purchased the rest of the block. What happens if they want to upgrade their tank? You know its inevitable.

Just a guess here but given that each led is probably 1/8w - 1/4w, mutiply that by the probably hundreds of thousands of leds, I think that would add up to slightly more than $1

At .25w each, and 500,000 Leds, that adds up to a whopping 125,000w Ouchy
