![]() you're right, it was a typo! They do come with 24w bulbs and the bulbs are included. I spoke to the deal in Ontario and they confirmed. I forgot to ask why brand of bulbs they are though. You're probably right, they are probably low quality but i have good lights for my existing GLO fixture, so i can always swap them. In a 4 bulb set-up, what is a good mix of bulbs and lighting durations for each?

![]() Did anyone ever find any reviews on this fixture? I really like the built in timer setup. Looks to a farely decent fixture even if you end up swapping bulbs out for better ones.

![]() Just got the unit today. I ordered it last weds, came in this morning from www.thehotfish.com in Windsor. The whole set up seems pretty good, the built in timer is really nice and the bulbs seem pretty good as well. I will see how my corals do with it and post some upates. I have attached a few pics of it. Oh yea, the final price was $279 + tax including all the bulbs! Talking to the dealer, they have all their SPS corals growing under these, and the pics on their pages are all taken under the same lights, albeit the 4' fixtures.

![]() It was the one for $299, they sold it for $279 + tax though. I never asked for any discount (other than asked them to waive their handling fee). the overall quality seems pretty good. I have no way of measuring the output of the lights, but it is definitely better lighting than my Hagen GLO 24" fixture. Shipping was through UPS which was about $60 plus $11 for insurance, so $372 in total. You might be able to get it shipped CPS instead, but that is already a bit risky
