I purchased a 6 footer 250 MH fixture from them. The housing was cracked and a MH bulb was broke. Then the fans quit working after two weeks. In order for me to get the parts...I had to take pictures of the broken bulb and the faulty adapter for the fans. Or I could have sent the fixture back but I had to pay for the shipping. The MH bulbs bleached some of my corals(24" deep) so change the bulbs out. The fixture was shipped UPS so that says it right there...lol. Just my two cents

The new T5 fixtures with the extendable legs look very cool.

I know of several people who have bought from them and been very happy with their T5 advance fixtures (the one with the timer built in). None of them are on Canreef but I'll see if one will give me more info. Shipping was with UPS and pretty expensive but the fixture was really cheap and not bad build quality.
