think of it this way.......while two sols may cost 80% ish more......how many years before buying bulbs will make the T5 more expensive?...... using only 50% of the sols power, will vastly decrease the heat generated and greatly extend the bulb life.......the savings will show up in your power bill and you will need to make less top-off water....

You get what you pay for that's for sure.

I'm a firm believer in that, that's why I was wondering about the Aquaticlife. Seems very reasonable for what you get, just not sure where the compromise is. Quality on components etc... This is why the title is what it is...
