The title pretty much says it all, I have a new Tek light T5 HO and I am looking to put it over my tank next week. How important is having a splash guard cover over my light?

I have been doing a lot of research lately about upgrading my light and have started to look into T5 lighting. I have compiled some questions that I believe others who are looking into T5s would like to know as well. Answer for me what you can. I know its lengthy but I can't be the only...

I've been looking at some member tanks online and absolutely loving the colors they are getting out of their T5 lights. I've been running MH -anywhere from 14-20k-- with all different supplements -- VHOs and T5s of various brands -- and have never come anywhere near the color I would like. In...

I have been in this hobby for a while now, 14 years, and if I would have gave up at the first sign of adversity I would not be where I am today. I know, it sounds cliche but it is true. It is sad to see so many new and old reefers leaving this hobby everyday. Problems develop in their tanks and...

Well for those that know Nancy and I you know we've been busy moving most of the summer. It wasn't planned and it happened fast. A deal popped up we couldn't refuse. I can't explain how hard it is to move a family of 5 and 350 gallons of jammin sps on short notice. Mind numbing planning and...

Hello, I recently bought a new Tek fixture that came with bulbs. My bulb choices were limited to Giesemann and UV. Therefore I got 4 GM Actinic +, 1 GM Aquablue +, and 1 UV Superactinic. I prefer ATI's and would like to trade. Would be willing to sell as well. These are all 36 inch 39...

I have a couple small colonies of acans and I just cant seem to get them to keep their color. When I purchased them they were very vibrant but after a few short days in my tank they seem to have faded. The rainbow has lost most of the green and yellow and is now just a rusty-red and orange. I...

I have a aquamedic 250 watt hqi pendent. Comes with 14k phoenix bulb and 1 10k bulb, pendent, and ballast. Light works perfect. Looking for a decent high output t-5 fixture like a tek fixture or whatever. If you have a nicer one or want more than $150 for it I'll throw in some cash plus the...

Hey guys, Sold my 250W SE's, and picked up a set of 250W HQI pendants with new Phoenix 14k DE bulbs. I was running 4 T5HO actinics in addition to my halides, question is...if I get rid of my canopy and just run the pendants, do you think I will be happy enough without actinics? Or how else...

For anyone that owns or has owned a Tek T5, would you recommend one? I'm looking to replace my Nova Extreme 4bulb with a Tek 6 bulb.

I have a 55g with 216 watts of new T5 lighting and I just got a crocea clam this past weekend. Is this enough light for my little guy on the sand bed or should I move him up in the water column? Also Im supplementing white phyto feast every other day. Is this gonna be good for it? Thx Bob

I recently posted about a Tek 6 bulb T5 HO (324 watt) fixture but just noticed it doesn't include the splash lens or even fans for that matter. Looking through the DRs. Foster & Smith catalog I noticed the Nova Extreme 6 bulb T5 HO (216 watt) with lunar lights that has a fan, includes the...

I'm thinking about getting a Tek T5 HO (6 bulb) fixture in the near future. I just picked up an 85 gal. tank (48x18x23) and was wondering if the Tek 6 bulb fixture is too wide to idealy fit the tank, it's 48x15.5 or something close to that. Can I hang a 15.5" deep light fixture over an 18"...
