    Default Nova Extreams??

    Can I get some feed back on these lights? I'm looking at the t5 HO 96w. However it doesn't look like they come with atenic nor moon leds. In which case I would have to supplement some how.

    I have an 8 bulb (I run 5) fixyure on my 90 and LOVE it. I can play around with bulb combos or add/remove bulbs as I need to. If it helps you decide, mine has led moonlights that I don't even have plugged in...you don't need them, you just choose an actinic bulb for the blue spectrum.

    I also would ditch the bulbs they come with - the par rating on them is awful. I would use ATI or Geisseman.

    I have always seen nova extream as a decent middle of the road light fixture. Much better than many, but sub par compared to others. Its definitly not a coralife, but isnt a tek fixture either.The prices are always right for what you get too.

    I wouldn't think twice about investing in one, but if I could afford better, I would.

    IMO do like 4x24 t5ho's and you can keep anything you want in that 26 bowfront, especially if you've got individual reflectors.
