A few months ago, we introduced Reef Tools reader to the T5 HO Light Fixtures by AquaticLife. Recently, we took a closer look at the 36″, 4 bulb unit. One of the nicest things about this unit, is the built-in timer. The unit offers 2 420/460nm, 2 700+nm, and lunar led lights, all of which are independently controlled by the unit’s timer. Programming the onboard computer is as easy as can be, and you’ll have this T5 unit up and running in no time with dawn, daytime, dusk, and lunar times. (note, the units do come with a factory-set program in case you don’t want to set your own).

We included a video showing how to program the timer on the Aquatic Life Compact Fluorescent just to illustrate the ease of use:
