Not durable by Mike

Comments: The mounting legs for the 48" outer orbit are made of plastic. They slide into a metal channel in the body of the light fixture. I slide the light back along the top rim of the tan to gain access to feed the fish a couple of time a day. After a few months of gentle sliding, the channel in the body of the light wears out the plastic and the leg(s) falls off. Thankfully, I keep some spare mounts around. Current-USA ought to fabricate an aluminum or stainles steel leg that would be durable. I may look into some alternative mounting option in the near future as the remainder of the fixture, light quality and quietness of the fans are all excellent. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Broke after a month by SARAH PEALE

Comments: I love my Nova Extreme Pro T5 lights, but the docking mounts leave something to be desired! I had my lights for about a month when one of the legs just snapped and sent the fixture right into the reef tank. Marine Depot was fantastic and replaced the legs, but for a fixture as heavy as the NEP, I think the legs need to be a bit more heavy duty. They are pretty flimsy plastic and are definitely not built for what they need to do. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Mounts by KATHIE DAVIS

Comments: I feel the mounts are not made strong enough to support the hood when it has to be moved. It should be made of a stronger material. We haven't had the light hood for 3 months and the mount broke after sliding it back and forth carefully. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: These are just like the ones that came with the unit. The good news is that means they are a perfect replacement and I only had to use one since only one had broken. The bad news is, I'm sure it'll break again since it's just the same. I also managed to break off a small piece of the frame installing the mount because the mounts and the plastic cover and all that can be such a pain to take off. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
