Default New T5 Lights

Well I had my tank setup for about 5-6 weeks now and need lights, was originally looking at TEK Lights but really could't get them in the budget because it was $650-700 including legs, bulbs and shipping for the 6 bulb version. So then I looked into the Nova Extreme Pros, which recieved fair reviews but couldn't find anyone with them instock in Canada and to ship them form the states they wanted another $140 on top of the $370 price tag, and figured I would get into trouble when duty came around so again they worked out of my price range so then I finally came accross some lights from Catalina Aquarium (Here)

I actually bought them off a guy on Ebay here

Well I can Honestly say I'm impressed...

Bulbs may not be the greatest but more than adequate for now and I will get better bulbs when I need to, 6 bulbs with reflectors on each moonlights that are dimmable, and 3 plugs to contol everything1 = 2 T5's, 2 = 4 T5's, 3 = Moons.

Best part is it only cost $356 total after shipping, exchange, duty and taxes for everything!

Here are some pictures










Hope this is useful to anyone looking for lights on a tight budget.
