Hey,
I am looking to get a good lighting fixture for my tank. It's a 75g and the width is 48 inches. I am thinking of a T5 fixture as I think it will be sufficient for what I want to keep. I will mostly be keeping softies, zoas, polyps, mushrooms.
I found this fixture and think it might be good for me but wanted some more experienced opinions, and see if anyone has any experience with the fixture.http://www.aquarium-supply.biz/Current_USA_Nova_Extreme_T5_Aquarium_Lighting_p/rcu01122.htm
Also up for some other options, trying to keep the price down.
Let me know your opinions
Also a fellow MR member has pc lights up for sale at a nice price and it looks like a nice fixture. Here is the link for that unit will something like this be sufficient for the corals I want to keep?http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/sale-trade/38094-f-s-orbit-48-4x65w-power-compact.html

Thanks

the current t5's dont have individual reflectors so you will be loosing light. i myself went back to t5's after having had mh's also. i like the overall better from t5's. check ebay and also a few other site's around. new jersey reefer's

nothing like medal halides gives the tank a more natural effect althought its a matter of what suits your likeing nothing like the shimmering effect
