Good value 24" T5 fixture

GeoHawk · Feb 3, 2013

I am setting up a frag tank (24x18x12). I am looking for a good 24" preferably 4 bulb T5 fixture for less than $150. Ive found a couple but not sure on quality. I just want it to work. Any suggestions would be great!

I just bought one of these for a 20 gallon tank.

It's a nice light and the color is great but the only downside is that it's all off or all on. There are not multiple cords and switches to stagger whites and blues.

I bought mine off of Ebay for like $100 shipped but that was years ago and it was reconditioned. It's worked great for me but the fans quit working about a year ago, still works fine.

I got a current nova extreme SLR for 120 it was the best deal I could find besides aquatraders. I hope I am happy with it.

Ill post pics after they arrive. Ive got 2 ati blue plus bulbs and I ordered geissman 1 actinic plus and 1 aquablue plus because DFS doesnt carry ATI.
I was thinking of going front to back
ATI blue plus
ATI blue plus
Geissman actinic plus
Geissman aquablue plus
Or maybe I will swap the back 2 Ill have to check it out and play with it after it gets here. I also need to make a light stand for swaps, Im thinking out of PVC.
