Sorry if this has been brought up but I couldn't find anything on the forum on these. about 2 months ago I upgraded my 2.5g pico at work to a 10 gallon and I've been using the same light but need a bigger one. I was looking at two fixtures and wanted to hear some thoughts of what would be better.
1. Is a 55x3w Bridgelux LED fixture ($250). There are a few of them out there and they are really cheap so I wanted to see if anyone had any long term success with these? They are fully dimmable and have a built in digital timer as well.

2. is a Nova Extreme 108w T5 ($290). This looks like a great light and I know t5 lights can be great. I figure this is a more proven choice than the LED but it also doesn't have any built in timers, 2 plugs, etc.

What are thoughts on these two options for a well stocked 10g reef?
Thanks!
