A great fixture for small tanks. I use two of these over my planted 5.5 gallon and can grow even "high light" plants. A single fixture is perfect for a 2.5 gallon tank.
I just got this wonderful light set for my 15 gal. octagon. It is perfect. I have some ricorda corals,and live rock. I had to adjust my hood but this is perfect for this setup. I measured with my light meter. It has got the right stuff. I will be ordering more of these as I'm setting up species tanks, and this is perfect for a lot of applications. Thank you again Drs. for your great products.
