Nove Extreme Pro T5 Owners thread

[chevegan]

Well grim said he smelled it coming...so here it is. And as of 2min ago I purchased my 48" model for 343.99 from https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16770&prodid=36457&catid=3.

Pick'em up while they're cheap. So for all you owners you know the drill. Show your tanks. Brag and lend help when needed.

g ok so here are my before and after pics

Before 2x150w MH 14k

and now

I love the improvement. Mind you these are the stock bulbs. New ones aren't in the budget right now but I'll be conforming them in a year to Grim specs. Show me some of yours. Before and afters will be best and bulb configs as well. +tank size

90g Oceanic
Stock bulbs

wow, that looks really good. this is first pic ive seen of the new fixture in action. im really impressed by the coloration and output you seem to be getting, with the stock bulbs even. i have the 36" model but im still a few months off from finishing the build on my 30g. i planned on swapping out 4 of the stock bulbs from the beginning, but now im thinking maybe ill keep them in for 6 months or so.

really nice tank btw

Ok I am in, Grim sent my light off Monday. Not to take away from this thread but for people looking at this light check this thread out http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1269547&perpage=&pagenumber=1. I will transfer all the test data soon to this thread. No pics from me yet I am in the middle of an upgrade, but when I am done they will be posted.

[werkkrew]

[siwelk]

[salty55]

mine will be here tuesday! I can't hardly wait! this thing should light my tank up like never before.

 

[siwelk]

[r341ity]

I was looking at aquactinics or tek but I'll be getting the "NEP" next week instead.

 

[dsn112]

Consider me a member!! Picked up the nova over the tek. about 250 cheaper!

Hi All,

I am considering buying a 72" Nova Extreme Pro to replace a 72" Aqualight Pro (3 150wMH 10K & 4 96w 50/50s) on a 72LX18DX30H 150gal (7" above surface). From water surface to DSB is 23-24"

Is this a worthwhile move? The energy savings are compelling.
Can I more or less light from the NovaExtremePro at similar depths? Obviously I could/should mount the T5 closer.

I have Soft,LPS, and look forward to a clam or two, and a few SPS in the future.

Given either setup how far up will the SPSs generally need to be placed?

Thanks in advance!
