Ordered the Nova Extreme T5 24" 96 watts with individual bulb reflectors. Finally made my decision.. thanks!
Thanks for a ll the good advice. I'm leaning towards T5's.
Ahh that helps, a fellow nano reefer.. yeah 16 gallons heats up quick! I'm sure you know..lol.
I'm gonna switch out the bulbs with uvl or Giesman.. after my corals get used to the better lights. stock bulbs have to be better than my stock PC's
We have AC I just don't like it. I was looking at these two fixtures. The only hardcoral I'll have is candy cane coral that my buddy is donating....
Buffalo, NY. Only gets hot in the summer, No AC usually just fans. My PC lights would raise temps to 84. Would cool with small a small bag of ice...

Will do that.. may buy 1 Current 420 bulb, and go with the stock bulbs to adjust my corals.. then I'll get the better brighter Gieseman bulbs

Oh I see.. two different brands.. lol
I know, I've been lookin for a while. It says it's a new fixture.. I'm surprised there's no fan.. maybe it's not necessary. Hopefully I can sell my...
PS thanks for all the help everyone!
So I'm looking at getting this fixture. It has single reflectors, and seems like a good budget buy. I was looking at the 24" 4x24w (96watts total)....
They have a 24" fixture, but it says it's a T6.. is that similar to PC? They only have 36" T5's.
LOL thanks. Goes up every year. Can't wait to watch that movie 10 thimes over this holiday!
ha you made the right choice.. I just figured I was ok when I bought the fixture.. was a noob..lol. I didn't research the available bulb...
No they're PC bulbs. they don't have straight 10k, 6700k, 460nm..etc. For my fixture you can have 10k/6700k 10k/460nm 460nm/420nm they...
Hmm conflicting opinions. Well I guess I have to decidce between using 6700k/10k, and its yellow tint, possibly accelerating algae growth, or 10k,...
If only that were available for my fixture!
