Are you digging the LED lighting that is being released lately but dissin’ the cost? The Galilieo fixture from PFO is a great alternative. The Galileo fixture is designed for “soft corals, planted tanks, and fish only tanks that want the 20K look of metal halides and shimmer effect without the heat and other issues associated with metal halides.” Not to shabby, and with prices starting at around $650 for a 24″ inch unit, this is looking like an up and up. So how do they reduce the cost of this unit? By not building in a light controller/timer which each lighting type: Actinic Blue, Day White, and Moon lights getting their own plug for power (3 plugs). “Consumer grade” PFO claims. Hmm, RB will stick with their Metal Halides thank you very much.

Who would pay that much and not get a light controller/timer?
Anyone who figures out the savings in electricity and bulbs. It is a no brainer. Purchase three 24hr timers at home depot and save $400 a year on your aquarium. Or plug the three power supplies into x-10 plugs on your octopus controller. Oh? You don’t have an octopus controller? Go home and pretend to have a real tank.
