Pretty easy to make your own. Use any reactor, buy some LED strips and bam, you're in business.

Yeah I'm thinking about that as well. Really want center LEDs. But may go that way anyway.

I like the idea of having the light inside but the tech is just too new and unproven at least in commercially available stuff at this point for me. I like slapping a string on it and see how the growth is and if I'm not satisfied, try another string. I set one up last week using avast and some amazon lights. From what I've seen I think most people are going too small, but again, just not enough data out in my opinion. Mine is a 6 inch diameter tube that is 24 inches tall. It's on an 80 gallon deep blue. Figured go big, or go home. Hopefully the experiment leads to something worthwhile. guess we'll see.
