    someone on The planted tank is selling a 24" 4x24W Nova Extreme t5ho fixture. Was originally planning on buying a fishneedit.com fixture but might have to buy this left me know what you guys think

    heres the description from the sale thread:

    I've got a Nova Extreme that's 24" long and holds four 24 watt T5HO lamps. It's fan cooled and comes with mounting legs. I removed the paint a while ago, so instead of it being dull black it's a shiny industrial silver aluminum that I spent several hours polishing up to be nice and sleek and shiny. (If you want pics, pm me and i'll take some.) Comes with a splashguard and original box. Seperate power cords for each internal ballast an internal cooling fan.

    Less than one year old, individual reflectors. Comes with two 10,000k lamps and two 6,500k lamps. I'm only selling this because I'm getting an ADA light fixture.

    PM me. This fixture was originally $200, so I'll sell it for $100 shipped.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I asked for pics but seriously might buy this because its cheaper and better then the fishneedit fixture. I would still have to get new bulbs though.

    I think it is a good buy. Better reflectors than a fishneedit unit they are flat like PC reflectors.
