    I have the 48" Nova Extreme fixture on my 90 gallon and really like it. Have not had any problems with it at all. I just recommend upgrading the bulbs that come with it though. I don't believe the Current USA T5 bulbs are very good, I went with some Hamilton bulbs in my fixture and noticed quite a difference of color in my livestock.

    I believe after much searching I am going to skip the wavepoint and go with a 48" Sundial.

    You will do well to change to higher quality bulbs after 3 to 6 months. ATI, Geisemann or UVL brands seem to be the best.

    You should also look into KZ and GE bulbs for their special applications of spectra.

    hmmmmm, I will.
    What do you think would be a good variation for a 55gal? (I like a crisp blue look rather than a hazy blue)
