That is AWESOME!
Thanks, I'll try that. Hoping it wont be much of an issue, will wait and see. I actually removed the legs moving the light closer to the tank. The...
Thanks. Definately saving the bulbs. Actually considering fixing the old Nova unit and using it and the bulbs on my other tank that has PC's.
Well I picked up a Wavepoint 24X4 T5 HO lamp today. This replaced a wet Nova Extreme. So far I am pretty impressed with the unit. Appears well built...
Thanks for the tip. Do I need the ballasts specifically for the Nova or will any t5ho ballast work? any recommendations? I alos have a 20 gal reef...
I went ahead and picked up the Wavepoint unit. Very nice set up, looks very well built. It's also sealed up pretty well in case I have another clumsy...

Well as the title says I managed to drop my Nova extreme light fixture into the tank today. Luckily the lights were off but after drying everything...

Thanks for the tips I will definately try it out.
I personally wasn't really 100% comfortable going with glass plate so thanks to the advise on here I am going to go the bulkhead and plug route....
Thanks 2in10. I checked Marine Depot but didn't have any luck. The site Magnus posted has just what I needed though. Shawn
Magnus you are awesome! Thank you for the link. Lotsa cool stuff on that site.
Do you have any online store recommendations for finding a plug that big? I haven't been having much luck? Thanks Shawn
Magnus, yes you have it right. There is one huge hole in the lower back of the tank in the overflow box and one smaller hole in the back of the tank....
