    You could get a Current 18 inch T-5,it's the same wattage and might fit well.Bulbs would last longer and are cheaper.I bought mine from Marine and reef.com,costs about the same as the coralife 12inch.

    I hadn't seen this one yet. I think I might get this one. This looks like a pretty good fixture for the price. Has anyone had any issues with it?

    sailorguy do you have any pictures of your tank with this light? I am curious as to what it looks like. Thanks.

    Well I know how that is. Now my daughter has a better camera than me. Thanks for your help. I am going to order it next week. I will post some pics once I get it.
