    Well, it's been a year (Already!?!) and my pc's need to be changed. Probably like last month, but hey I'm doing the best I can. It seems since I've been in this hobby I spend more time coveting the next item I want to buy. Instead of just buying new pc bulbs - that would be too easy right? - I want to upgrade to T5s. What do you think of this fixture? Is that about enough light? I know it's waaaaaaay more than what I have now. My tank is mostly LPS, w/ some softies and mushrooms. I really like that it's just ONE cord, that's awesome. Pretty good price too I think.

    Can you repost a link as that one doesn't seem to work, at least for me.

    Sorry - the link is fixed. I have a 36 gallon bowfront. No clams or SPS - I have a 75 gallon waiting for those! I am planning on buying the 24 inch fixture. Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you!!
