Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Great reflectors and the built in timer
Cons:	A little $$$

I have a 2 year old model so mine looks a little different but has all of the same features of the new ones. I really like the fact there is on power cord and a built in timer. The build timer has three timing functions, one for the first two T5 bulbs, a second for the last two T5 bulbs, and a third for the moon light LED bulbs. You can set individual timer setting for each.

I also like the quality of the reflectors in them.

This fixture is a little pricy, but you get what you pay for and them some

If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Hey Cliff
I was ready to go down the LED route to get that addition of moon light effect for end of day viewing but quickly found out not good for plant growth.... I only have stock lighting single bulbs on a 90 gallon fresh. This looks like a possible addition or replacement for what I have. Your thoughts appreciated
