Great

Not GREAT... by DAVID SCHAEFFER

Comments: ...but better than average. LIKE it, don't love it, and for one simple reason: Coralife made a 12" fixture, ideal for a pico reef in a 2.5 gallon tank...and it's TOO DEEP TO FIT a 2.5 gallon tank. Yes, if it is sitting directly on top of the tank, it's a good fit, but that leaves no room for filtration, and the amount of heat produced is extreme (in a 70F room, it took a 2.5 gallon AGA up to 86F). With mounting legs installed, it won't fit directly on the tank rim - I had to get a larger piece of glass cut (8.5") and then I was back in business. Why would they make a 12" fixture that doesn't fit the standard 12" aquarium in hobby? Either a slightly different case design or a variation on the mounting legs would solve this problem. Coralife, if you're reading, another improvment: Holes for ventilation. Convection alone could give this unit a significant amount of cooling. Ok, that's the bad news out of the way. The good news: 36W of 50/50's on a pico reef! My zoas' colors pop. With virtually no rigging this thing gives you enough light to grow SPS in a 2.5. for the space-conscious, this fixture could be the solution for temporary propagation tanks. I was originally going to go with the Current 2X18W fixture, but the difference in price tag got me. The legs on the Current WOULD fit a 2.5, and there's a fan on theirs, so next time it would be an even tougher choice. So there you have it - if I could have given it 3.5 stars, I would have. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nice upgrade for a Nano Cube by RYAN CHRISTOFFERSON

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 8/2/2007 from HAWTHORNE, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: When the stock lights in my Nano 6 just weren't cutting it, I upgraded to the Coralife Aqualight. Nice sleek design and a perfect fit for my tank. The light color was also nice. The only thing I wish it had was the led moonlights. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
