    I was wondering if anyone had the Aqua Medic Ocean T5 fixture. I was looking into the 48" 6-bulb one but have read since they pack the bulbs in so tight the reflectors are small (possibly weaker): Aqua Medic Ocean LightT5 Light Fixture48" 6 x 54W - AquaCave

    Let me know if you had one & your thoughts + what corals you keep under it.

    Thanks!

    Good timing. I've been looking at this as well for my tank - the 24" version. I have similar concerns about the reflectors - specifically with the halide reflector. I fear that it has a smaller one than I have now and the spread will not be as good. I still may go for it if I can figure out how to mount it right on my tank. Tagging a long...

    Well the quality seems to be there. Wish I could see them up close.
