Have you seen many reviews on it? The no-name lights on ebay before were not getting very good reviews.
There are quite a few upgrades I would like to do once I can renew my budget for this tank. I have spent $800-$900 already this year getting it started.
There were only a few reviews, but they were all very positive. I'm very satisfied with it, the light is super bright and the plants seem to love it. It has 4 switches as well, with 2 bulbs per switch, so it's nice being able to control the light intensity at certain times of the day.
