great i just now realized the nova pro 6 bulb individual reflector doesnt have lunar lights..so what do i do? go with a 4 bulb nova extreme buy 2 individual reflectors and try and get good lighting that way? or is lunar lighting not that important? maybe i can find an after market kit? These novas seem to be the best bang for the buck...
what do yall think?

I've seen several posts about adding the lunar lights yourself. It doesn't sound difficult at all.
And regarding the shimmering, I have MH lights and don't care one way or the other about it. Just a personal opinion, but you wouldn't really miss much if you didn't have shimmering.

Thats not a bad price on those LEDS.If you really like the shimmer and are willing to pay extra,then I'd say go for it.
But moon lights aint that big a deal.Fish and coral dont care if your tanks got a moon cycle because theres no difference in tide with in a tank.They just look nice at night.But their also not that hard to build.

I get a slight shimmer up high on the rocks with my T-5s.Just not down deep.But I may just give those shimmer LEDs a try when I start my 125 build.

If you have to choose a fixture with lunars or individual reflectors than get the one with IR.Lunars are cheap,you can build your own and it's probable more for us then them.
I have three of these 3/4 watters(not the 1 watt which is pictured).Two are suction cup and siliconed to the fixture and one is suction cup to the back glass.
