Hey Guys,
I just got one of these and it is so bad that I joined your forum to tell you about it. First of all there's no splash-guard and don't try to add one because it will get too hot. There's just not enough room in the hood. I ordered mine with two fans and they jammed a transformer(12v DC) inside the hood that was too big. I switched that out for one at the end of the plug but the hood still is over-stuffed. The fans blow air behind the reflectors so they cool the ballasts and not the bulbs. I've had it on for three days and already a bulb has burnt out. If your looking for 6 T5's over your 55 gallon(4ft) tank, I'd try Finnex......xltom
