Two thumbs up. I love it! Got it today. It came with 6500K lamps installed. Seems to be pretty well constructed. All aluminum with plastic end caps. Adjustable legs. The ballast is housed in an aluminum box that you can set on the floor or mount to the wall or in the cabinet. It can be unplugged and replaced. Power switch is on the ballast. Fixture was ~$59 shipped to the door. I've got about $350 invested from the floor-up so far. Eeek! So much for starting with the $1/gal sale.

This outfit sells 3 versions of this fixture: Marine, Freshwater and Plant. Mine is the freshwater which includes two installed T5 lamps stamped with "Odyssea Daylight 6500K". Apparently the marine version comes with one daylight and one actinic, where the plant version = one daylight and one plant (pinkish) lamp.

Mine gives off a bluish light. It's almost makes the 'marble chip' substrate glow. Gotta get some plants in there...

i tried salt and failed and it does cost alot lol. i wasted probably close to a grand on that tank once it was all said and done with and i took it down. but in any event the tank is coming along beautifully. :)
