:deadhorse1:I purchased 3 cheap LED fixtures in the past month and finally learned my lesson. You get what you pay for. In saying that, I would like to help someone not make the same mistake I did. Stay away from the Finexx ray 2 HO LED & the Aquasun LED HO fixture. Both are useless. I'm looking into purchasing my final light hopefully & thinking of going with a T-5 fixture with Lunar's. Can someone please point me into the correct direction??? Looking to spend no more than $500.00

How about the 48" AquaticLife Six Lamp T5 HO Light Fixture with Timer. I just got the 72" for my 125g and like it. You should be able to get that for under $500.

Thanks man. I was looking at that one and the ATI fixtures. ATI I believe needs to be hung from the ceiling. I really don't like the way that looks. You can also always change the bulbs to ATI on the AquaticLife fixture.

Caviness81, this is off topic, what kind of machine is that in your avatar? It looks like some kind of manufacturing assembly machine.
