Dont have any first hand experience with that particular on this system but i had a LFS that used one on there show tanks and they were happy with it. I have a coralife PC setup on my tank, its been running for 2 years now and i have absolutely nothing negative to say about it.

Thanks Marc.

I think I'll take a drive over to that LFS and speak with Martin.

 

Yep, talk to Martin, Kevin or Alex. They will hook you up. They probably dont have the unit in stock but they will order it for you. I havent been there in a while, been to busy i guess, hope i'll get a chance to go there this weekend.

Marc.

 

Thanks again.

 

Hmm, Do some shopping around....also you should figure out what you will pay in electric. Personally I think I would go with a T5 setup. Your Choice but I think T5's are the way to go until LED lighting prices become reasonable.

 

Nice Price or is that US. J&L sells the same light for $1049.00

That's USD Jason. So after conversion $1049 is not a bad deal (given it's canadian dollars).

Do you have a link for J&L so I can scout things out.

Much appreciated.
