B216adkins February 16, 2011 February 16, 2011 Hello, friends Im currently trying to upgrade my Current-USA 12 gallon aquapod. I have been looking at the 18' Nova Extreme http://www.current-u...remet5hox2.html Do you guys think this will work? Im looking for a good light fixture, that is cheap this light is only $80 compared to other lights. Do you guys think this will fit my aquarium? Also if any body have this are the brackets slide-able?
gmubeach February 16, 2011 February 16, 2011 I have a setup using leds from nano tuners I would check out thier website. They specilize in smaller tanks. THEY have a product thats led for 80$ for a bulb that mounts into a standard light socket. They are leds and bright, but they aren't dimable and kinda have a spot like look to them.

Troy- those bulbs won't work in an A12 hood. Adkins- why not try a Panorama strip light from Ecoxotic? It'll mount into the A12 hood with very little modification and be enough light to grow most anything.

BowieReefer84 February 17, 2011 February 17, 2011 Brandon, you need to try and get those screws out of the acrylic cover. Replace the original powercompacts that are who knows how old. In addition add what Zygote recommended. These ==>>> http://www.marinedepot.com/Ecoxotic_Panorama_12W_LED_Module_w_Transformer_Linkable_LED_Light_Fixtures-Ecoxotic-XX08200-FILTFILDLK-vi.html or for less money this one http://www.marinedepot.com/Ecoxotic_12.5_Inch_Stunner_6_watt_LED_Strip_Linkable_LED_Light_Fixtures-Ecoxotic-XX08010-FILTFILDLK-vi.html I would start with new Powercompact bulbs as you only have soft corals. See how you like that look, and go from there. Maybe you can find a replacement hood if the screws don't come out, but I bet you can get them....?

Yea I cant take the screws out because they are rusted :( And nobody sells the hood because its discontinued and it came out in 06. Thats why i picked the Nova Extreme because its by the same company Current USA
