I need opinions on these two systems!!!

the 36" double coralife 192W
or the
Hagen HO GLO t-5 system...

i cant find reviews ANYWHERE for the hagen, but one site. and the reviews for it didn't look to promising....which would you guys go with? they're about the same price when you buy the bulbs for the hagen...so let me know!

Coralife fixtures are pretty decent IMO. I have several of them and they work nicely and for many years.

I have the 36" 192w fixture, but have not used it yet.......so I can't provide feedback on that specific fixture.

Coralifes have yet to let me down though.

What size tank is it for?

[TwoTankAmin]

I only use power compacts from http://www.ahsupply.com/ You might want to check them out before buying.

The T5HO will put out more lights per watt so if you want more light T5HO is the way to go, I can't comment on the build quality of Hagen lights however, since I have no experience with them.

[Mgamer20o0]

what size of tank? how many wants will you get with the t5 bulbs?

ahsupply.com lights are great.

its a 40G breeder

[GirlieGirl8521]

I'll be setting up a 40g breeder soon with the Coralife 192w fixture. :) Can't go wrong there IMO.

The AH Supply kits are great, but expensive. ;) And you have to make or buy an enclosure. Their reflectors are top notch, but if you don't have the money to spend, Coralife will do.
