I have the 4 x 24watt nova extreme.Very bright on my 20gal long tank.
Of course my tank is only 12" high.
Fan is a little loud.Also don't tell you need 4 plug ins for light fixture.
Overall glad I bought it.
Hope this helps.

I've got the 24" Nova, like morejongg posted it can be a little loud and the fan and night light power wires have the big ac adapter ends. It's a very bright light though and looks really nice. I bought the 420nm actinics and it looks way better. I have one 10k one 50/50 (it's the 460nm that came with it) and two 420nm. My galaxia loves it it's always out and my rbta thinks it's too bright (it always hides in the shade).
