    Default Anyone used Coralife T-5 light strips before?

    I saw these lights on Big Al's and was wondering if they were any good? I'm thinking about getting them for my tank and the price is just right. I have a FOWLR now but may branch out to sps, lps later. What do you think? Thanks

    I have the freshwater version on my 29g freshwater planted tank. It doesn't state it on the product info on that website, but these are NO, not HO so I don't think they are really bright enough for corals. They would be ok for your FOWLR though.

    Ok thanks for the info!

    I was wondering why they were so inexpensive. I thought there were only HO and VHO T-5's on the market. Good to know there are NO's too. I'm still learning.
