Yea if the leds are the same exact thing as the marineland then I would pick the leds. More energy efficient, stays cool, takes less space, overall look is better IMO.

Beamworks LED's on ebay link: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I'm really leaning toward the LED's myself. I do like the way they light up a tank. Maybe in a few years down the road I'll try to save up money for an AI SOL system for my 180, but right now I'm stuck with my AquaticLife 12-bulb T5 fixture. But I sure would love to put AI's on it.

The AI Sols are pretty awesome. If you wanted to do something from AI over your 10 gal (if you ever needed/wanted that upgrade) they have the AI Nano which would be more than adequate for a 10 gal tank.

Decided a week ago to move the tank to the kitchen (I know I'm a copycat), but I didn't like where I had it originally and needed something in the kitchen to watch beside the TV. Added some more dry rock and got a new light. Still waiting for the cycle to complete and trying to decide what I want to put in it fish wise. Saw a Tail Spot Blenny at the LFS on Friday and after a little research I think that's what I'm gonna go with when the time comes. Anybody have any other suggestions??
