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 experience with either? Or any other recommendations? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

i hv the nova pro the past 2 years. i am very happy with it. i keep all kinds of corals and clams with it without issue. there r better t5 fixture out there for more $$$$$, such as the tek.

I hav e had mine for almost a year. Everything is thriving. I have had three friends that have seen my light go out and purchase it. Not to mention a guy at the local fish store that cleans my tank sometimes came in seen it and loved it. Said the color it gives off is great. He also noticed how everything in the tank was doin so much better since i purchased it. Great light. GL

if its a 200g tank i would go with something alot better such as aquatinics or better yet a ati system

or... what for it......
halides!

sorry, had to do it. do you plan on keeping any photosynthetic animals? might be cheaper to go the halide route. on my 210g I have 2x250w bulbs with no heat issues
