locating an evergrow Nova 52 ref light ?

cracker · Jun 27, 2017

Other than Reefsupply.ca I can't seem to find a seller here in the states. I think they are in Canada. I really don't want to mess with the shipping costs from Ca. again that's a Evergrow Nova 52 ref light.
Thanks !

I just e/med reef supply to find out about shipping costs. I assume they are costly seeing how they are out of country. We shall see !

So, Reef supply,ca says there is a 15$ flat rate on shipping. Not as bad as I thought. However, there is a 2 to 3 week back order.
I'm also looking at the Vipar Spectra from amazon. Not as good but 100$ cheaper & thru prime I get free shipping & 2 day delivery. Fairly clear which one but I want the better light !

I broke down & ordered the evergrow Nova 2 nights ago. I figure I can wait. It's going on a new tank & really not necessary yet. I'll show it off when I get it .

Ok I got my evergrow nova growlight yesterday, I'm not sure if it was designed for refugiums though. I would think these are used for indoor horticultural endeauvers . The ref is 12 by 17 & 14" deep. at mid depth I got an average 160 par at the outside edges & 200 right in the center. the light is about 15" of the water surface. I'm hoping this light can compete with the display lights for algae's attention. It's got to be better than the compacts I was trying in the past ! Here's a pic for Ya !
