The Nova Extreme X2 Freshwater Light Fixture combines the best in both design and functionality and is a great addition to any aquarium.

Sliding aquarium mounts adjust easily to ensure a proper fit for your aquarium. Only a single power cord delivers all the lighting you need for the ultimate looking aquarium.

I went on a search for a new fixture when my old 36" 4x36W CF jbj unit went dead. I knew the new T5HO lamps were the latest technology. More lumens per watt. How true! I got the freshwater 36" nova extreme for my planted aquarium. Because of the hood on my bow front, and the way I have supports, I needed a slim light unit. This is the slimmest thing I've seen. Great materials, great satin paint, beautiful color rendering from the bulbs. And it runs cool. No fans. Quite! Very happy!

I have the 36", 78 watt freshwater Nova Extreme T5HO 2 on my planted 38 gallon tank. The contruction, installation, and use of the light is great. I was initially a little worried about the 10000 k and pink bulb combination. Not so much the 10000 k but the pink bulb. They do balance out nicely, but when I replace the bulbs I think I will replace the pink with the 6700k.

It is definitely a big upgrade over the stock hoods, and the pink bulb with the 10k daylight bulb do balance out nicely. Overall, a good light product for very little money!
