48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture

I am looking at this light fixture.
Is this a good quality fixture for its price?
where is the best place to get it at?
I have a 55 gallon tank with softies, LPS and 1 SPS.
will this light support pretty much everything except clams?
thanks

 

That's a great fixture and Marine Depot has it for $319.00 w/o lamps right now!!!!!!!!! It's $650 Regular Price.

 

ok thanks.
how would ya'll recommend hanging it?
I live in a house trailer and am unsure if my ceiling will support it.
how heavy is it?
how hard is it to do tank maintenance with it hanging

 

That light would probably support clams also,they might just need to be placed higher in rockwork,click on clams in forums and ckeck out intro to giant clams.

 

I think it comes with a hanging kit, but if not you could buy one. I'll say tank maintenance is easier with hanging lights, especially if it's adjustable. As for the integrity of a house trailer, there may or may not be a strong enough support beam. Have a builder take a look at it.

 

It says optional hanging kit so I dont think it comes with one.
I think ill just go with the tank mounts

 

Sorry $313
