I would go with the Hellolights one..since they have true individual reflectors. Plus they are cheaper. I believe the Nova extremes are 1 reflector that is bent to act like individual but are not true individual Link to comment

I personally would get this one over the new nova based on this price..... Link to comment

Ryan_H Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 i just bought a 48" 8 bulb for less than $200 shipped i guess my tank upgrade will be a 75/90 instead of a 40b after all. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageA...amp;ProdID=1717 4 bulb http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageA...amp;ProdID=1716 8blub hmm it went up $30 for them still a killer deal Link to comment
Ryan_H Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageA...amp;ProdID=17174 bulb http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageA...amp;ProdID=1716 8blub hmm it went up $30 for them still a killer deal the price is $150 before the extra $30 "oversized shipping". regular ground shipping was only $16 after that. i didn't order bulbs because the description makes it sound like you get bulbs with it. the only thing that makes me nervous is the lack of fans, but i can fix that easily.

Ryan_H Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 does it come with legs? no, but there is an optional hanging kit for $20 extra. i'll just figure something out on my own for that, Link to comment
hcsceo Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I called Adam at Hello Lights and they do NOT come with legs. Price is too good though I'll manage something. Steve Link to comment

You linked the 48? Link to comment

You don't want this light. It is too good to be true and you will be embarrased to tell anyone how inexpensive it was. Your inhabitants will be too happy and you won't be able to "fix" anything cause the lighting is too good. I say pass on this deal and kick yourself silly for not buying them.. After all it is cheaper to sit on a sore butt than have really great lights at a great price. How did I do? Steve Link to comment
05XRunner Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 buy it..LOL look I did and I dont even have a tank..hahaha Link to comment
