The ZooMed AquaSun Dual T5 HO Hood is a high-performance lighting fixture designed specifically for 24-inch saltwater aquariums. This unit provides powerful, high-output T5 fluorescent lighting, essential for the health and vibrant coloration of photosynthetic corals and invertebrates. It allows aquarists to create a customized light spectrum by mixing and matching two T5 bulbs (sold separately) to meet the specific needs of their reef tank inhabitants.

This fixture is built with a sleek, low-profile, and rust-free aluminum housing that includes a highly effective internal reflector to maximize light output into the aquarium. Key features include two independent on/off switches for separate lamp control, a high-output electronic ballast for efficient operation, and a clear splash guard to protect the lamps. For easy tank maintenance, the hood is equipped with hinged mounting brackets, and a wire cable suspension kit is also included for versatile mounting options.

This lighting hood is an excellent choice for reef hobbyists who prefer the proven performance and spectral blend capabilities of T5 lighting. It's ideal for those setting up a new nano or mid-sized reef tank or for aquarists upgrading their current system to support more demanding corals. The ability to independently control two different bulbs makes it perfect for simulating dawn/dusk cycles or creating a tailored spectrum by combining an actinic blue bulb with a full-spectrum daylight bulb.
