Opinions on the Coralife 20" PC??

[Fish R.Ph.]

I need a better lighting system for my little FOWLR tank. I can't spend a fortune right now, but the current hood was not even intended for saltwater applications ( oops!).

I found a nice looking, affordable, 20" Coralife Aqualight product at "Reef Tank Lighting" (a sponsor!). This is the little blurb about it:

"Deluxe Series - Single Linear Strip with 96 watt 50/50™ ""Quad"" Compact fluorescent Lamp -Square Pin Base"

Any thoughts? My tank is only 20 inches wide, so I don't have much room to work with. At $90.00, the price was right.

Other suggestions?

Thanks friends!

Your link didn't work for me, but I think you'd be OK with it. It sure will brighten your tank up a bunch.

I've used two Coralife 50/50 65W PC for my tank for two and a half years now and haven't had any problems from the lighting department- the lights have always worked well. I keep some mushrooms and polyps under that lighting and the mushrooms seem to like it- they reproduce. My coralline algae looks pretty good, too- although the hair algae problem I had a while back put a dent in it...lol but that wasn't related to the lights. I'd say sounds good!
