Coralife Fixtures

greenmonkey51 · 04/24/2007, 09:17 PM

I was gonna just order some bulbs for my shoplight fixture but I looked on ebay and found a used 48" 4x65wt Coralife PC fixture with moon lights. Its not much more than what the bulbs would have been I figured why not. Its about a year old and 2 bulbs are 6 months old and 2 bulbs are 3 months old. For 125$ its not bad are coralife fixtures any good.

I have one and love it. I have just upgraded to MH but will be using the PC on another tank.. If you are just doing softies it shoudl be fine..... As far as reliability.... it has been great.
good luck.

I like mine, 30" 2 x 96w, I have softies, lps, and some sps growing well under them. Make sure you buy the hinge legs, that way you can get the light out of the way w/o taking it off.

Your going to love this upgrade!!

I have owned a total of seven of the coralife PC fixtures. All of them are still working fine. (I dont still own all of them ) LOL I have never had a problem out of any of them.
