Anyone ever use the light below or have suggestions?

I am looking into a economical LED system to hang/place above my 46 gallon bowfront aquarium. The tank will be mostly a FOWLR, but over time I may transfer a few shrooms, rics, zoos, and frogspawn LPS as I trim my overgrowth in my nano reef? Because of this I will be needing low to medium lighting, would this work?

For me LEDs work well due to longevity and low heat, both vital to my needs. The below $200 price point in a full LED systems is quite nice if it will work?

Economical yes, but there are two issues that may or may not be a problem for you.

1. You can not dim the led's some overpowering led's can burn lowerlight corals, as you stated above "I will be needing low to medium lighting"

Secondly they do not list any par ratings.

Just something to consider, As far as a FOWLR system fish do not care what type of light you have.

You may have better luck looking in the huge thread where people have posted their experience with the fixture and ones like it.

Thanks Sirreal, just worked through most of it and some of them look quite nice at a good price. Just what I was looking for, and they should fit my needs well, particularly the ones from Aquariumleds.com. seem quite similar to the ones I posted, maybe same light?

I think the bulk of these are TaoTronics units.
