any reviews on the new nova extreme pro T5 by current

willis87 · 03/30/2008, 04:57 PM

basically, just looking for some first hand buyer feedback on this new fixture. I am about to buy it but its so new cant find out much first hand knowledge. planning on running the six fig bulb configuration 3 -39w 460nm, 3-39w 10,000k over a 40gal breeder reef with mostly sps and softies. was hoping to mount off rear of tank but package only includes side mounts.(that fish place) currently has the specific fixture mentioned above at 309.00 its the cheapest i have been able to find it but its on backorder till the 8th i believe. think this might be somewhat indicative of its demand or poor anticipation of demand and production. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

They are getting great reviews from what I've seen.
I saw them when I was at Current a little while back.
Much better reflectors, and I like the newer heavier brackets as well.
