Current USA 24" 4x24 96 Watt Nova Extreme With 2 Lunar Lights AQUARIUM LIGHT
NEW IN BOX!
Product Dimensions: 24" X 7.25" X 2.5"
Experience a whole new level of brightness with Nova Extreme, the first ever 24 hour, high output T5 lighting fixture. These high output lamps will pump so much light into your aquarium that your fish will need sunglasses.
European style high output t5 lamps
Performance driven electronic ballast
Moon white lunar light for nocturnal viewin
German parabolic reflector
Fan cooled for maximum efficiency
Energy efficient
Performance is Everything
Powered by an advanced electronic ballast, the high output T5 lamps are driven to their maximum potential while ensuring long lamp life. The patented circuitry inside each ballast ensures consistent high performance and low energy consumption while meeting FCC standards with EMI protection and low THD. All components are the highest quality available, meeting ISO 9001 standards, and are potted to reduce thermal stress and increase ballast life expectancy. A German parabolic reflector increases light output up to 99%, while an integrated fan cools both ballast and lamps for efficient operation.
The Ultimate Spectrum
SlimPaq high output T5 lamps generate the ultimate spectrum for living reefs. Our proprietary blend of Nichia tri-phosphors provides maximum watts per lumen output, promoting high coral growth and excellent color rendition. Each fixture includes two 460nm Actinic Blue and two Daylight 10,000K SlimPaq high output T5 lamps.
Night Vision
Integrated Moon White Lunar Lights cast a crisp moon glow for optimum nocturnal simulation, providing the perfect environment for nocturnal viewing, providing rhythmic moon luminance for increased spawning and reproduction.
Total Control
Two independent circuits with 6 ft. grounded power cords independently control 10,000K Daylight lamps and 460nm Actinic Blue lamps. Moon White Lunar Lights operate on their own transformer, providing complete control of timing periods.
Includes:
2, 24 watt 10,000k Daylight
2, 24 watt Actinic 460nm
2, Lunar Moon White
Independent Control

I have the same lighting system as the one you listed only mine is 48" and I am extremely please with them. I just added a Star Polyp coral and a Pink tip Haitian Anenome last week early last week and the anenome is in an area behind the rocks. He seems to like it there even though all the light doesn't get to him but the coral is just beautifull. I will get some pictures as soon as the last of the algea is gone.

Those lights are good lights. The T5's are economical electricity wise as well as strong. They are the best alternative to the more expensive Metal Halide and run a lot cooler imo.

but is the wattage enough for soft coral and aome anenomies?
i have a 29 gallon tall tank

That should be enough for most a good portion of the corals and anenome's out there 4x96 watts=384 total watts. I could be wrong about some of the more difficult ones but maybe someone with more experience with corals and anenome's could chime in.

I run my actinics from 8am to 8pm and the white from 10am to 3:30pm. The night lights from 8pm to 4:30am all computer controlled. I am still making adjustments so I may change it somewhat since the anenome may be getting to much.

its 4bulbs x 24watts= 96watts
not
4x96=384

eek, my bad, sorry I misread that. You might want to try the 54 watt bulbs. that's what I have. So that is 216 watts. That should be enough. If you really want to be sure you have enough and if cost is not a problem it would be a sure thing if you used metal halide lights. Someone else with more experience with those lights would need to assist you or you can check the archives of this site for more lighting information

I wasn't able to find any higher wattage then 24 watt for the 24 inch so I don't know if that is enough for your tank.
