Anyone tried the new Coralife Aqualight HO fixtures?

My 2 bulb Nova Extreme HO fixture has a fan. I don't use the legs either.

How noisey is the fan? I have heard many complain that the Nova fan is noisey, which sort of has me leaning towards the coralife HO unit..

It's definitely audible from across a quiet room. Kind of a high pitched whirling sound. Much like a noisy computer fan.

double bulb fixtures don't have fans.

As I said, I don't know about the Coralife fixture, but my Nova Extreme 2-bulb fixture does indeed have a fan.

My two bulb Nova has no fan, and I don't use legs. No problems for over a year now.

hmmm... old model possibly? i just got mine maybe a month back tops and while there's a grid on the side there's definitely no fan.

Mine is a little over 2 years old I guess. It has two cords. One for the lights and one for the fan. I just bought some new Coralife 6700K 54W T5HO bulbs for it at Petco. They were on clearance for $7.50 each. They normally have them listed for $29.99 but are discontinuing them. I snatched those suckers up.

I also have the 48" 2X54W fixture. Maybe only the 48" fixtures have the fan?
