Could you help me understand this light. The Current website has things really confused as to what kind of bulbs are in this fixture. The site indicates that it uses T5HO but then that the bulbs are 18W. When you look at their bulbs, the only 18W bulb they make is a Power compact...which is the one referenced by the fixture.

I have the Nova Extreme X2 which uses 20W T5HO bulbs and I'm just trying to figure out if there are other bulbs out there that would work for me.

yes they do use T5HO bulbs and they are 18w a bulb. the fixture has semi-individual reflectors and after 1 hour of the fixture on the poly extension on both SPS was extremely noticable

The fixture is new so maybe the site hasn't been updated yet with the other bulbs

Well i think its time for a quick update. lesson learned, power heads to close to SPS is a bad thing. moved the acro to a different location but it still died off due to the damage. Besides that the birds nest, monti and that little mille frag are doing great. also picked up a large mille colony early last week that is doing great.And added a clam just over a week ago that is doing good in the sand.

and finally i almost have this hair algae problem under control. set my lights for 11:30-9:30.
