AquaticLife T5 Ho vs. Nova Extreme Pro T5

[lietz06]

I want to buy some better lights for our tank 200 gallon tank. These are the two models I'm looking at. Does anyone have any experiance with either? Or any other recommendations? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I would go with the nova ex. Just a great light all around.

except the bulbs SUCK. So depending on what size bulbs you need, plan on another $100 - $300 to replace them.

I have a nova extreme pro and I am very happy with it so far. Sure the bulbs that come with it aren't that good but you can always do what I did and use them until the PAR drops off or they burn out and then replace them with good bulbs. IMO, no need to to just toss the bulbs it comes with away.

I have a nova extreme fixture to add with my mh lights over my 75g. The stock bulbs were alright, I recently changed them out with new ones now the tank looks better then ever.
