How do you like it? Have you used other t5 fixtures before? Seems like a nice little unit

cool i am thinking about one for my frag tank

I am quite new to reefing but can say my corals seem to like it

I have it as an "extra" tank in case I need to isolate something and also have a frag rack. The frags seem happy. I run it as a basic sytem with a hang on skimmer, 2 power heads, a heater and an ATO system.

I have a 4x 24w New wave and love it. The only thing I dont like is that it doesnt come in a 6 bulb unit.

you could always use a 4ft and a 2ft
