t-5 lighting

[ric maniac]

Hi, my birthday is coming up and my parents said i could get new lighting for my aquarium. I was looking at the 96w nova extreme lighting for my 19 3/4" deep 24g nano cube. What could i keep with this lighting? Thanks.

get yourself a t5 system with individual reflectors. if $ isn't an issue: aquctinics, tek or ati. if it is go with the nova pro.

Are the Novas worth it? What are you able to host with them? Or is it worth just to step it up to Halide?

the novas w/the indiv reflectors kick out some decent light. Which nova model is it?

get a T5 w individual reflectors I have a tec 4 lamp and it puts out more light than my sisters nova 8 lamp with out indiv reflectors

yep, if you do end up w/ a Nova make sure its one w/indiv reflectors. Its not as nice as an ATI or tek but its not as pricey either. What price range are you looking at?
