Description

Nova Extreme Pro

T5 high-output lighting fixture
Witness the next evolution in T5HO lighting

Individually contoured reflectors for maximum light intensity
Cool running, performance-driven electronic ballasts
Fan-cooled for superior color spectrum, output and lifespan
Independent controls for dawn/dusk applications
Dimensions 20" x 12" x 4.25"

The Nova Extreme Pro combines the best in both design and functionality, making it a great addition to any aquarium. The sleek black-aluminum construction not only maintains a low profile on the aquarium, its design also allows it to dissipate heat away from the aquarium, lamps and components. Individual polished reflectors coupled with highly efficient electronic ballasts maximize the light output and intensity of the SlimPaq T5 HO lamps.

SlimPaq high output T5 lamps offer a quantum leap in lamp performance, with more than 50% higher output compared to an ordinary T5, T8 or T12 fluorescent systems, and longer lifespan. Using our proprietary blend of tri-phosphors, the high levels produce stunning color rendition and penetrating intensity. The Nova Extreme Pro includes a fan-cooled aluminum housing, independent controls for dawn/dusk applications, individually contoured reflectors for increased light output, splash lens and docking mounts.

Comments: Well, I've had the new 48" 6 bulb Current Nova Extreme Pro for a couple of weeks now. I like the fixture a lot. It has two fans in the end plus vent slots in the top. Cooling of the fixture is not an issue. The TEK has no fans and is only slotted. Included with the fixture are the docking mounts (legs) as well as a full length acrylic splash shield. Both are optional items with both the TEK and Aquatinics fixtures. Six bulbs are included with the fixture. Three each of 10,000k and actinics. I like the looks of the tank with this light. The other brands are fixture only. Bulbs aren't horribly expensive, I may play with some different combinations as time goes on to see if I like the looks of others better. The unit has two on/off switches on the fan end. One turns on two actinics and a fan, the other controls the other blue plus the whites and the other fan. A good setup IMO for dusk to dawn light timing. It does not have the LED's built in that my Current PC fixture had, but that is more fluff than anything anyhow. The individual reflectors on this unit are what some may see as the weakest point in this fixture. Instead of having six independent and "individual" reflectors, Current USA has taken a different approach. The reflectors are formed from a single sheet of reflective material: starting at one edge and then bent/formed around each bulb. The reflectors are not curved or parabolic around each bulb, but rather angled (picture cutting a stop sign in half) to achieve the "individual" reflectors. The reflector material used appears to be of high quality, it is very reflective. So I can't say if this is a bad thing or not, I don't have experience with any other brand fixtures to use as a benchmark. All things considered, I think there is a lot of value in this fixture from a results to cost ratio. I am very pleased with it thus far and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to someone.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I bought this to replace my 36" 2 X 96W Orbit PC fixture and the switch is dramatic. even though there is only a 42W difference the visual difference is far more than that. I don't have meters to test these but it is a dramatic difference to the eye. the reflector looks like one reflector with bends around each bulb but it does the trick. I just have the bulbs that came with the unit right now. I may try to switch out bulbs later. this is a great unit for the price.
