T-5 Nova Extreme

[mr. bojangsjang]

Is the T-5 Nova Extreme Fixture any good? How are the reflectors? Should the reflectors be replaced? Is there any similar T-5 fixture available cheaper on an online store?

Also, a question about kelvin ratings. This t5 fixture is for a seagrass tank, you can see my questions in this thread

The Nova T5 fixture uses only one reflector for all four bulbs, not the individual reflectors like the Tek or Aquactinics fixtures.

Is that bad or good?

From what I have read, the Nova t-5 extreme puts out about 20% over a 130watts of PC. You do the math, its cheap... for someone new into this I would buy it. Too bad I went with PCs, otherwise.

I am not sure if the fixture comes with bulbs or not.
