The difference is you get more light with less watts with the T-5s.Plus the bulbs last longer and are cheaper.

I'd recommend the 48" Current Nova Extreme Pro -- 6 T5 bulbs with individual reflectors. It would be perfect for a 75.

you think is a big difference from a compact 48" light 2x64 day 2x64 actinic
to a 48 inch Current USA 6x54W Nova Extreme Pro T5HO 3-10k/3-460nm Actinics

Yes, there is a HUGE difference. The Nova Pros are way better.

EXACTLY
Not to mention the Nova Pros will be cheaper to run because the bulbs dont have to be changed as often and are cheaper.

You/ll be happy with the Current fixture. They are much better than the Odyessa fixtures. There are several of us that have the Current fixtures and there are seldom complaints.

I agree that the Current fixtures are very nice. I had CPF's before and the T5's are so much nicer!! Especially since you can get bulbs for $12 to $18.
