happeboy Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) I want to know what brand of light I should look at getting. I'm going to need a 30 inch unit for Cichlids, and was thinking 2 x 65 watt CF. I currently have units by Coralife (energy savers unlimited) which I think are quite horrible. My Unit is about 6 mo and the fans seem to be braking already. I have also heard of issues with the electrical clips braking when trying to replace the lamps. Coralife are inexpensive and that is partially why I got them (all that I could afford). Without spending huge amounts what brands should I look at? As I have learned the wisdom of buying a good unit once rather then many cheap units. Edited June 2, 2007 by happeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hagen makes a line of HOT5 lights, single or dual strips (6900k,18000K and actinic bulbs). Full curve reflector. Three mounting options. Not sure if they make a 30" unit or not. I have two 2x24w 24' units over my 20g reef and I'm pleasantly surprised with them. And they are relatively cheep.
