I'm considering adding another PC fixture to my tank (so I can keep more demanding plants), and I'm wondering if anyone has used this particular light and can recommend either for or against buying it. Here's the description I found:
" Freshwater Aqualight Compact Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures are specially designed for Freshwater and Planted Aquariums. These fixtures include Coralife 6700K™compact fluorescent lights that are ideal for freshwater plant growth and the overall beauty of freshwater fish and plants.
*Two-96 watt Coralife 6700K™ Compact Fluorescent Lamps Included
*2 On/Off switches and 2 power cords for separate timers
*Built-in Electronic Ballast and Cooling fans
*Sleek Aluminum Housing
*Highly-Polished Reflector
*Acrylic Lens Cover "
I've been looking at an Orbit fixture (which is around the same price), but the Orbit is geared towards SW and comes with an actinic and a 'dual daylight' 10 000/6700K bulb, so I'd need to buy another bulb to replace the actinic. If the Aqualight is a good fixture I think I'll go with that instead.
I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas and opinions
