yep, they were one of the ones who told me i was over qualified lol

 

[nissan577]

why would they tell you that?

 

[mboswell1982]

14 years experience in the field means they'd have to pay me more than they'd have to pay someone else, an they dont wanna do that lol

I just got new lights for my 20g long. 6 x 24wt t5 Solar. It's my rose bubble tip tank. Split and sell to LFS.

 

[mboswell1982]

[nissan577]

pretty short. $$$ and a light company! and look at the pics go before and current

 

[makoshrk2]

What would you choose for a 30 inch tank. I paid $200 for this fixture. My father and I both have the same retro from this company on our dt. 8 x 54 wt. Never had a problem. That light for my 20 is 30 inches long but has 24 inch bulbs.

nova sundial 4x24w T5HO light fixture by current usa

 

[nissan577]

you bought it?

 

[mboswell1982]

nope, but that is the light we're gonna be putting on the tank, eventually, we might start off with the nova extreme saltwater 2x24w T5, 30" fixture

 

[erock412]

might as well start out with the 4X24 fixture and save some cheddar in the long-run.

 

[mboswell1982]

the 4x24 fixture is 200 bucks, the 2x24 is only 60 lol, i was gonna go with the basic single bulb aquarium light thing that all aquariums come with, but, its 40 bucks, so an extra 20 isnt a big deal

 

[erock412]

whatever's clever dude. i just dont see why you should spend $260 to get the lights you really want instead of the $200 they really cost. i know you didn't get into this hobby as a method of saving money, so you might as well spend it wisely, eh?

 

[mboswell1982]

its gonna be 6 months before i add the corals, an what ill do with the nova extreme is put it on another tank ill set up when i get the new lights, so they'll get used lol

 

[makoshrk2]

That Nova sundial 4 x24 t5 is on sale. free shipping
