This T-5 fixture is fantastic! Packed very well. Start by removing plastic from bulbs and setting timers for your lighting needs then choose to install legs or air spacers ( depending on your hood/canopy ) leg and spacers are included as are screws for legs, blue lens covers for moon lights and clear timer covers! Now the fun part.WOW!!! and I mean WOW! Affordable, lots of great features and the timers are adustable in 15 minute increments. I just received this today but from what I have seen so far this is a quality fixture, very happy with it and delivery time was very fast also! Fantastic light output and well made!
I love this light!! I have tried PCs and looked into MHs but this tops all with low temp and cost! And I love the timers. It is REALLY convient to use and makes my corals grow like crazy. I would recommend this light to anyone.
This is one of the most fully featured light fixtures I've ever had. Not only does it provide all the light sources to simulate dusk/dawn, daytime, and moonlight, its got timers integrated into the unit which makes them more accessible and reduces the number of cords you have to keep track of. I bought the 48" fixture for my planted freshwater aquarium and it's been a great investment. There is some small fan noise, but it's minimal and really helps reduce the heat transfer. Though the additional light did raise my water temp a little bit, I'm only using the rubber feet (since I have a glass top) instead of the docking brackets which would give you more air space and less heat transfer. All around I highly recommend the product.
Don't take the quality of your tap water for granted. If you draw your water from a well, nature may not be providing you the perfect balance. If you are using tap water from your municipal department, it likely includes minerals and additives.
Algae are prolific and opportunistic organisms that take advantage of aquarium systems that are out of balance. Water quality issues create ideal conditions for algae. This article explains how proper water quality helps control algae.
Coral propagation is a challenging and rewarding aspect of the reef aquarium hobby. It is also a great way to promote coral conservation. Learn more here.
An important component of an aquarium that often gets overlooked is lighting. This article gives a basic description of available aquarium lighting systems.
