zoo med aquasun t5 light fixture...
 
hello guyz.
i mentioned in another post that i had recently upgraded from my 14g biocube to a 35g tank.

i've been looking into different light fixtures-i'm still not sure which to get/buy..but my friend was offering to sell me his used Aquasun t-5 fixture..

do they suck or have any heard of em/used them before?

thx!

They suck, they do not have individual reflectors, they will not produce enough light to keep coral in your tank. You can get much better light for close to the same price.

i dont know what you are trying to keep or what your budget is but take a look at the ati t5 light fixture they get great reviews for keeping reef.

what would be a better light for the same price?
cause those lights run in the 70-80 range...idk if i've seen those at that price that are actually good?

AquaticLife 2 Lamp HOT5 fixture. Hands down better than the ZooMed. Comes with individual reflectors and the lamps as well.
