| i am going to order lights today but i think i am going to go with the sunlight supply fixture of 4 39 watt t-5 lights which is like 150 watts for 305 $ instead of the 6 bulb one cause its to expensive so is it worth getting the 4 bulb fixture Sunlight Supply like can i keep anything with that ??cause if not then i might as well go with this one for like 10 bucks more 36" 6x39W Nova Extreme PRO T5HO 3x10k/3x460nm Actinics by Current USA* - AquaCave so what do you think ????

| The fan can be loud, to some, to me I don't notice it much. But my husband says it's a little loud but not that bad. They may not bother you. I believe you'll love the light fixture as much as I do.

| ian,i made no modifications to my lights.it performed with no problems right out of the box.i have frogsspawn,numerous polyps,bubble coral and sea cabbage and all are doing great. keep in mind that my tank is a 90 gallon and is deeper than dinors' 55.it still gives plenty of light. i purchased my set from THAT FISH PLACE they are my lfs.while i was there they told me that there was nothing that i could NOT keep with this system.they could of sold me an$ 800.00 light set easily as i was prepared to do so but they talked me into the extreme pro instead. |
