I am looking at purchasing a Sundial T5HO 36" for my 46 gallon fish only tank. Anyone have an opinion on this light system?

It's not the greatest T5ho fixture out there, but it's more than enough for a FOWLR.

Thanks Justin. I just became a member and am glad that I didn't complete my profile yet as I live in Columbus, Oh and am a proud Graduate of OSU. Probably would not have gotten your response. Good luck next week #3 - State College is my #2 Big Ten team!

The goal of fish tank lights is to replicate the natural conditions of light in natural habitats.

Most aquarium fishes need up to 12 hours a day of the appropriate level of daylight, and it's up to you to give them normal days and nights as they don't have any other way to normalize behavioral cycles!

My friend has a 46 gallon tank that includes fit stands and canopies from other manufacturers, including All-Glass Aquarium. Includes a UL listed fluorescent hood with fixture installed (bulb not included) and manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty. Safe for any fresh, saltwater, or reef environment.
Dimensions: 36"L x 16.25"W x 20"H; 46 gallon capacity
Lighting:24"
Believe, It's really wonderful to see this kind of pretty tank, isn't it?
