    Ok, I can't seem to decide on a fixture but I think I've settled on one, the Current USA Sundial 24 inch T5 HO. It has 4x24W bulbs, built in fans, timers, and moonlights. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this fixture or knows anything I should about them. Oh, and is $205 a good price for this, looking at other places, it sounds good to me.

    I had my eye on that fixture but unfortunately it is not available in Australia and shipping would have been too much.

    Anyone else? I just want to be sure I'm getting the right fixture.

    No one? Out of all of us 3reefers, nobody has any thoughts on this fixture.

    patience ;) in the hobby and on the forum :p:p:p


    I have that light (48" model). Love it. Having one cord and timers/moonlights integrated is pretty awesome.


    One thing I would change about them is that the moon lights are on the back edge... if it was my design, I would put them on the front edge, but that's just me. Not a deal breaker at all IMO.

    stock lights are OK. I stuck with them to save money and just upgraded them once it was time (9 months).

    I hate patience. The one downside to this hobby. Although, I may hate it and complain about it, I do have it. Thanks for your input, I think I'll go ahead and get it. PetMountain has it for $184 right now, which I think is a steal.

    I have this light also, and love it.

    totally agree. lights up the back side lol. But it does come with different colored light caps.
    I also switched out the stock lights for better ones.
