Purchasing T5

[Davehs]

Im getting a 5x2 soon and i want to heavily plant the tank and use T5 lighting. I was wondering if anyone knew what the T5 light units were like from http://www.guppysaquariumproducts.com.au. The price is very appealing just not sure what the quality is like. Thanks

I got some of the 2 foot T5 doubles from them and they are fine.
I had them flat on the tank lids but found they got way to hot,so they are now on the legs supplied with the lights.
I found ordering was a little painful and communication was lacking some but overall not to bad. All my order arrived and all worked so I didn't have to test out their customer service with back orders or refunds.
Hope this helps.

Thanks bettamuse big help. i was thinking of suspending the light from the roof anyway and im guessing that would resolve the heat problem. ill let u know how it goes when i get it anyway. Thanks.
