    I'll think about it. But for now it's another $150 I don't need to spend! Yay!

    I've felt those Tek fixtures after running for a while. I don't care if they're T5's, they get very hot. Venting would help, but the 8x54 I felt was just as hot as my metal halide fixture gets. They don't heat the water as much because the bulbs don't burn near as hot, but if you didn't need fans, I would be very shocked. I wouldn't enclose that fixture in my house without fans, I can't see it being safe.

    AC Jr? Yea, the Apex and the Apex Lite is the replacement. The Jr. is still good though, and is inexpensive.

    Link doesn't work, but if it's the one for $259, that's a good choice.
