T5 Light

kattsue · 11/06/2009, 09:43 AM

Any suggestions on a good T5 light fixture for a 30 inch tank. I currently have a Current Sundial and the timer has broken after only 1 1/2 years. Would like to try something different. Was looking at Aquaticlife and Solar. Don't have any really high lighting corals but may like some in the future.

No opinions?

Thats a wide open question... Need to know what your budget is?

I have a Aquactinics 72" T-5 light system on my 6' tank and love it, but it's not cheap.

There aren't many decent 30" fixtures out there, and since they use 24" bulbs you might as well just get a good 24" fixture. The TEK is pretty good for the price.
