This light has removable riser legs to fit a variety of sumps and aquariums up to 24". It also has built in polished aluminum reflector. Great for refugium filters, nano reefs and fish tanks! 39.50 ea. or 2 for 69.99!

    I dont know much about T-5 but I do know that what makes them so great is each bulb has its own parabolic reflector. These units dont appear to give each bulb its own. 2 for $70 doesnt seem like a lot of $$ and will light your tank but I dont know if it will support any photosynthetic creatures for you.

    sorry I couldnt be of more help

    4 of those units would be $280+ shipping

    these are $240+shipping (bulbs extra) but they are quite nice. My brother has one and he is extremely happy with it

    I have this fixture (the dual 250w 4' model) and I love it. top quality and around the same price as 4 of the ebay models and you wont be limited as to what you can keep

    A lot of people use these and they get good feedback

    sorry...It's still early and I havnt had my coffee. My remedial math skills dont kick in until I've had at least a pot or so. 4 of those units would be $140+shipping.

    sorry for wasting your time
