    Yes until UVL put this line out I'd have not given anyone 50.ct for every T5 ever made out there including shipping.. Having also seen the UVL 75/25 not sold on them myself and My Rep. from UVL said after trying them himself he also thinks he will stick with the actinic white's :)

    Thats Actinic white and their Super Actinic just makes great coral spectrum for both coloration and growth.. I wish they made a 6ft bulb ): I'd hang about 10 across my tank.. Still considering dual 36" set up to just see what they will do on a larger scale .. Thats how I learn what works .

    I'm getting some of those really cheap Oddysea T5's for a buddies FOWLR setup but it's a 130g Hex front so 6' long, doing the same thing we're ordering all 36" fixtures and just doubling up on them to get the full length

    When he sees that their bright enough for corals I'll tell him we need to get bulbs from ya first lol

    OK, that looks really, really cool. I am psyched about my array now. Can you do me a favor and measure from the top of the tank to the top of the light. I need to see about my canopy. I would like to keep it, and I think I can, I just may need to do some mods to it. Also, can you give me an exact measurement of length of the fixture with and without the legs. Thanks bro.
