Came with it, they are super bright. I see spots if i look directly at them lol they are 20 watts each, have 2 on each side. Whole package was around $250 including shipping. Took about 2 week to build and ship.

Nice! Are you having any GHA issues in the display? Are you running it opposite of your display's light cycle?

In theory, it's supposed to give optimal conditions to grow algae with out predators eating it. It does work in my experience, as well as export nutrients when you harvest the algae.
