    I am looking to upgrade my lighting from 4 x 110wt VHO's to the Ice Cap reef Illuminations (MH + T-5 combo 48").I am having trouble finding many reviews on this fixture and want some feedback before i spend that much money. Has anyone had this fixture for awile and can give me feed back? I would love to talk to you. Thanks

    It is pretty new so won't be a lot of reviews. If it doesn't come with fans then it could be hard on the bulbs which will lower its effectiveness.

    It has dual DC fans i believe. I will be getting a 72" fixture within a week or two. I will also be writing a review when i get it.
