    I've had the trinity for around 3 months and it seems to be a good fixture. I upgraded from an 260 watt odyssea pc fixture and had to move some corals lower in the tank to get the polyps to open. The main drawback to the trinity is it doesn't have a built in timer

    So Dusty would you say the aquatonic fixture with timer be worth it for $70 more?

    for me no
    I already had a few timer power strips so the internal timer wasn't a big deal and I don't think (and I may be wrong) the legs on the aquatic life are not hinged so that would mean taking the fixture off for regular maintence
