Be weary of these LEDs. A lot of companies esp. the Asian market cut quality of the diodes to save cost. I bought a bunch of "through hole" cheesy LEDs off ebay that were all spec'd at the same color temp. however after testing only a handful, you could visually tell the difference and a few of them burnt out after only a few hours of testing. I foresee a lot of algae problems also I don't think you'll get the color you're envisioning. As a rule of thumb most LED aquarium manuf. are using a ratio of two white to every blue. Another thing to consider, unless you're going to take this thing apart and use its guts, the fixture was not made for a salt environment, you will see rust within a few months. Let us know how it turns out if you do end up buying this.
