I’ve been looking on OfferUp for t5 fixtures for a couple weeks now and I keep coming back to these same 2 listings. One is a solarextreme 4 bulb 24” fixture with a built in timer and the other is an aqua medic ocean light t5 that is an 8 bulb 36” fixture. They are both on amazing deals.
The person selling the aqua medic needs it gone (she has 3) so I’ve gotten her down to $80 dollars for the fixture.
The problem with the aqua medic is that I can’t use it with my canopy so I would have to get rid of the canopy(which I love and my family loves)
I negotiated with the owner of the solar extreme and got him To go down to $40
This fixture seems great but I don’t think 24” will be good enough for my 48” tank.
What do you guys think I should go with? And do you think the 24” will be fine and just have small shaded regions on either end?
