What do you think about this light fixture for 40gl tank? And do anyone using this?

Its looks just like a ReefBreeders 16" light, same face plate and all. If they use the same equipment that RB does then I'd say go for it, I have a 48" fixture that's awesome

Go check out the Photon series by Reef Breeders. It's the same as that Ebay link. The reserve price hasn't been met in that auction by the way. I'm sure the final price is pretty close to the exact same Photon series fixture. And at least Reef Breeders will give you a warranty.

I ultimately decided for myself not to go the Chinese LED fixture route. A lot of them look like they grow corals well enough, but you can get a much sleeker and nice fixture in, say, the Kessil for just a few bucks more. It's no where near the slam dunk decision as say choosing Jebao over the 2 big name brands in powerheads.

it Is the same as the reefbreeders. and the seller has set their reserve at their buy it now price that they have on the other fixtures they sell so like $250. I would buy the reefbreeders fixture better and trusted service.

Not trying to take away from rb, he is a good dude& great service. But the lights are one& the same. I have both rb & the ones from ebay. I also have a par meter & have measured both in the same settings. Same lights guys. I wouldn't worry about the warrantee on either you probably won't need to use it unless damaged in the mail or something.
