[brian242pa]

hello guys/gals lol i am looking to upgrade my lighting from power compact to t5 ho i was wondering is this is a good fixture, i want at least 4 light bulbs in 1 fixure please dont be afraid to flame this fixture Coralife Aqualight High Output T5 Aquarium Lighting Fixture 2X31W 30 inch Coralife T5 HO
i want to get more coral and stuff thats why i am upgrading.

 

[brian242pa]

also i want the fixture to have a fan bult on the sides i just realized this one does not

 

[spoonman]

It is also only 2 bulbs. 2X31W means 2 - 31 watt bulbs.

 

[brian242pa]

do you think it is a good light to grow good corals or i should keep on looking

 

[brian242pa]

anyone please! i rlly need some help

 

[carey]

I would look for a 4 bulb system,much better than a 2 bulb.

 

[brian242pa]

but can you help me find one because i am going to get new coral nd i want a better light for em, i havnt found one with individual reflectors and i heard t makes em so much better

 

[brian242pa]

i have found one i am really interested in 30" Coralife Lunar Aqualight 4 Lamp T5 HO Fixture | eBay

telll me what u think

 

[carey]

Thats not a bad fixture. You could keep a good selection of corals under that light. I would price it elsewhere first though, ebay isnt always the best place to go.

 

[brian242pa]

where do you think i should look not craigslist please

 

[carey]

Just at different online retailers like fosters an smith and aquave. Try marine depot too.

I've got the same one works great it should have a built in timer and also able to adjust lighting for night I think it's 24 watts per bulb 96 total
But again it depends on depth an size of tank
I use it on my 20 gal long
