New Light?

[SeaBee]

I've been trying to find a new light for some time. I want to upgrade my pc light to T-5, without draining the bank. I found this light on sale, and the shipping is only $8. It's the same watts as my pc light, but I understand with the better bulb and better reflectors the light getting into the tank is way better. So i want to order it. The other plus to this light is that I have the Current pc fixture now, and this one is the same size and make, so the wife won't be able to notice the "new F-in light" on the tank and retaliate with her own purchase, kabish? What do you guys think? Oh, and I am still waiting for my reef octopus to get here.....

Forgot to say I was thinking of the 8" wide saltwater light, 48" long. 4 bulb with the cooling fan.

I think that is a good plan for getting it past the wife. Very clever. What is the size of the light?

What size is your tank? Good idea to get it past the wife.

The size is 48" and they call it a 8", it has 4 t5 bulbs at 54w each.

Ted, my tank is a 55, as stated in my sig.

Looks like a good light and a great plan. I'm assuming your wife is nothing like my ex- wife then, which is a good thing. I once bought new speakers to go in my car doors, and that same day she called me out on it ... Very scary
