wavepoint is very new when it comes t5 bulbs. also, it being so much cheaper than bulbs from ati, giesemann or uvi, scares me a bit. wavepoint bulbs could be purchased for around $10, whereas ati, giesemann and uvi bulbs run around $20-25. i wouldnt trust it if put over an established reef tank. but if u r just starting off with soft corals and such, then why not gv it a shot with wavepoint.
