Nove Extreme Pro T5 Owners thread

Well grim said he smelled it coming...so here it is. And as of 2min ago I purchased my 48" model for 343.99 from https://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...36457&catid=3.

Pick'em up while they're cheap. So for all you owners you know the drill. Show your tanks. Brag and lend help when needed.

Ever been 158mph on a bike with your wife riding with you? You could tear off the dented pieces of skin with her fingerprints on them.

It's not a bike if it's not over a liter

wow, that looks really good. this is first pic ive seen of the new fixture in action. im really impressed by the coloration and output you seem to be getting, with the stock bulbs even. i have the 36" model but im still a few months off from finishing the build on my 30g. i planned on swapping out 4 of the stock bulbs from the beginning, but now im thinking maybe ill keep them in for 6 months or so.

really nice tank btw

Ok I am in, Grim sent my light off Monday. Not to take away from this thread but for people looking at this light check this thread out http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...&pagenumber=1. I will transfer all the test data soon to this thread. No pics from me yet I am in the middle of an upgrade, but when I am done they will be posted.
