Im debating between 2 units. One is the icecap illuminations 6t5 and 2 tubular led lunar lights. The other is the nova extreme pro 48". Heres links to both. I can get a new icecap for 400 without bulbs with a 3 year warranty. I can get a refurb nova extreme for 220 with bulbs but id have to get lunar lights for the nova extreme for around 50. Help me out people. I cant find any reviews on the icecap so im not sure what one to get.

IceCap is a reputable company, but I'm sure others who use T5's could recommend a good setup, but I'd look other than IceCap. Mere fact the company is out of business, and no idea about who supports their products and if there will be support for their products, so it wouldn't be something I'd buy.

i have a 6 lamp t5ho wave point light. its not a bad light. ive had success going corals with this light but nothing beats a MH. the wave point doesnt have moonlights or fans built in thou. i was gonna get the nova pro light in the end but decided not to bc of the recalls on them at that time. its a very nice light thou.
