I think I just found my next fixture! :)

Cheers.

That is great. 30" fixtures are difficult to find. I didn't realize that when I bought my 37g. I read on the AquaVibrant webpage, that one of these Finnex Ray fixtures equals 3 T5s. That is awesome.

Jim,

I checked out your signature tag (http://fukiransoa.weebly.com/). Very nice! I love orchids. I can only get them to grow at work. There is just the right amount of light coming through my office window. When it blooms, I make everyone come into my office and admire it (they all think I am nuts).

Yes, one of several obsessions I have. Neofinetias are my favourites. Poor Marlene. She's an aquarium widow in the winter and an orchid widow the rest of the year. You know it's bad when vacations include trips to growers, locations of native plants in bloom, and fellow obsessives. Sort of like us here in GWAPA. :mrgreen:

You should come visit the orchid obsessed at http://www.orchidboard.com/community/

Cheers.

Now that Jim has found a fixture, I can hijack his thread. So, my question is whether this light would work for a 2.5 gallon tank:

Well, it was MY thread originally, so I give you full permission to hijack it. ;)

Seems like a lot of light for a 2.5 g, but I am not the expert.

I forgot the dimensions of a 2.5 gallon, but the small FugeRay looks like a better light for plants.

Cheers.

My apologies, Julie.

Thanks, Jim, I will look at the FugeRay. The 2.5 gallon is 12 inches long, by the way.

I use this light on my 2.5 and it works very well and it's only about 9 inches long and very sleek. It was $39 plus shipping.

I do like the new lights and being able to replace bulbs or change the color temps are just a great feature.
Sincerely,

Yes, I remember you posting a pic of that fixture earlier. It is very nice.
