No they are made in china just like yours would be. I was here before any of these guys even started selling the lights and I will tell they had a hard time cracking the market just as you would, its still possible.
Almost half the people are missing the point. No these local distributed lights are NOT built in our back yards. They are NOT more efficient. They are no different then what this guy is proposing. They are all China made leds. Yes there may be a label and maybe some tweaking (which I doubt) but still same ole. Why not let this guy offer up a better deal? Look what people said when the first string of lights came to us. We're we not the same to them as we are with this guy?
Sometimes live rock can have pest that won't go away. That's why people are buying less and less live rock and getting dead rock. When you acid bath the rock you strip it from everything including pest.
if you had good intentions that's great. if you or any of your friends want to down play the speed of a site you created that's not okay.
remember good intentions don't justify the out come.
I'm not holding any grudges. your free to do as you like but don't be critical of this site...for we put our whole trust and faith in your superior admin skills.
not entirely sure but didn't you spend like almost 10k on that tank?
for those who don't know now, the builder of the tank is out of Canada and know as the best glass aquarium builder in the country.
