Just what I needed...
It seems Coralife makes the only dual bulb enclosures for larger tanks that are reasonably affordable. The size is nice -- a bit narrower than my single T8 lamp, and slightly lighter. The light output on these is much better than with the single T8 fixture. This works well with my 75Gallon aquarium... No issues, except that some of the T5 replacement bulbs (especially actinic) are not readily available from amazon, nor my local big-box pet stores. Please note that the description on amazon is incorrect, as there are no fans on Coralife dual lamp fixtures. This is just the saltwater version of the 05620 dual light fixture (actinic and 10K bulbs vs. 6.7K and floralife bulbs).

Worth every penny.
I found the Aqualight to be a perfect addition to my 55 gallon freshwater community tank. It's actinic blue bulb combined with it's 10,000k daylight bulb really show off my fishes beautiful colors, while also bringing my decorations to life. The dual 28 watt bulbs(this isn't a High Output fixture)provide plenty of power for my live plants to grow nicely as well. The cost of all this goodness is also as good as it gets for a dual light fixture, making this light a true bargain. Its size is also a good thing, allowing you to place two together(one in front of the other) on a 55 gallon tank, doubling the light output for less than others charge for a single dual lamp unit. You can also mix and match the T5 bulbs available to get the effect your looking for. From what I've seen, you can get actinic, 6,700k daylight, 10,000k mid day daylight, and a "color enhancing" bulb as well--a nice selection. All told, this is a well made, low cost solution for anyone wanting better quality light than...
Sleek looking T5 fixture
The biggest thing I want to point out is that the picture is very misleading. The picture shows individual switches for bulbs, for this particular fixture does not have, please be aware.
+ The price is amazing for this great fixture including two bulbs
+ Very slim and sleek, much smaller than the picture and about an inch tall and two inches wide
+ It comes with both bulbs!
+ Runs very cool
+ Name brand
+ Extensions are nice for an open top setup
- Only has one switch for the entire fixture
- Acrylic instead of glass lens, which falls out easily
- Extensions fall out easily with nothing to hold them in, but are easily removed
I have not used this over coral yet, it is sitting atop a spare 20 gal that I should have set up soon, updates pending. This is an excellent light I would recommend for any shallow reef or FOWLR tank setup.
