Coralife Mini-Aqualight

Hi, just wanting to know whether anyone is using or had used one of these lighting system?

What do you think of it?

It's OK for what it is. It gives a decent amount of light for a 2.5g, maybe a 5.5g, but there are better options. It gets quite hot (barely touchable after it's been on for a while) though I never saw much change in my water temp. The spectrum of the bulbs seems to drift fairly quickly as well.

It works ok on my 5.5. I would recommend it if you didn't want to build something.

I had two on my ten gallon and sold them. Now I have to buy one for my QT and maybe one for my fuge. If you drill small holes from the top it might dissipate heat.

i had used one for years on my 2.5 pico. It worked well, however the plastic on both ends cracked after 2 years use. It still continued to function, however looked kinda ugly. I passed it on to someone else and it is still working for them to this day. The bulb choices are also extremely limited.

Nanotuners has a tiny little fan that may be modded into one.

My girlfriend has one on her 2.5 nano with no issues :)

I double checked and the fan would be too big for this light.
