Finnex fixtures?

Riley · 05-02-2008, 02:10 PM

Hey,

I came across a GREAT deal on a Finnex 4x54 T5 HO fixture. I was curious if anyone has any thoughts on the quality of this brand? I havent heard of them before, I looked at the fixture and it looks pretty top notch...Just curious if anyone has had problems with them or if they are pretty solid. Thanks!!

I have a few of their fixtures...one single reflector.

Well....you think the 4x54 watt would be good enough for a 75 gallon tank?

I'm sure 4x54 would be fine on a 75 tank.

I'm running a 2x54 Tek on a 75 low-tech (no CO2). I'm thinking even with the better reflectors its still less light than what you would have with the Finnex.

I have 2 of their 2x54 watt fixtures over a 55 gallon, they work well. Had to replace a ballast once but it was a piece of cake.....DC
