I got this one. Literally came as I read the post.
close match to mine, but no guarantees on quality

 

[john.m.cole3]

I splurged on the 15.99 due to more folks have bought it and rated it average 4/5 stars

I will order the 15.99 tomorrow so we can be all scientific. Thank you for the suggestion again @saltyfilmfolks , but does this mean we have to use big scientific words? I would like to find a par meter to measure the light inside of the tank in positions. Now those are pricey. We have to find a donor

I have 2 Hydra52 HD on my 75g. Tank has been up for a month now. I'm interested in reading your results.

That is a nice rimless. That is awsome how you can mount it to the wall and the water does not come out look forward to hearing some feed back from you also.

What corals do you have/plan on having? what are your blues and whites set at as well as how long is your photo period? Just curious. Nice rock work!

I found one for the Apex that goes in the tank, but that might be a little bit down the road. I have to save. I am sure it will be explained to me how to use the Amazon one thought
