Got it, thanks for the in-depth advice guys. So 1-3hr cycle even, would that be ok for my nems also? I'm just worried they will wander as they are...
Thanks, yes I was planning to cut back. If I'm normally 9hrs on my cycle, shall I cut back to around 4-5hrs with the T5's?
I feel like I'm taking over the Lighting forum with all my threads but, one more. Upgrading from Coralife 260w PC fixture to a 216w TEK Elite...
Nice input everyone, took note of everyone not using a shield and being fine. I actually just called reefgeek and decided to upgrade to the TEK...
I'm getting a 4-bulb standard TEK fixture & did order the splash guard. Looking for opinions on if I should use it or not. From what I've...
Oh I can only imagine what fun lies ahead :), thanks! Another thing that I thought about on getting the TX5 was that if it's this hard to find a...
I've also heard good things about the Wavepoint fixtures, the bulbs that come stock are actually good quality & the reflectors are also good + comes...
I have been researching a new fixture for a few months. I think you should look into the Aquatic Life HO ones. They have gotten great reviews and...
Thanks! I know it would have been wiser in the long run to get the TX5 or 6-bulb TEK but I think this one will be nice for now. I'm upgrading from...

Appreciate the info Night but still have my heart set on a tx5 or tek, just wish I could find a tx5 still :(
Thx for the advice unfortunately I have a 55g long that is 12" so that's the reason I needed to go with the TX5, I'll try that link 2in10 didn't...
So I finally have enough $ to upgrade to the 48" Aquactinics TX5 fixture. The only problem is I can't find it anywhere. I've checked with about 5...
great looking Mandarin, love the colors on it. I'm waiting to see how the ORA ones turn out and may have to get one.
I can't comment on that specific model but I would recommend a SpectraPure unit. I have the 90gpd model and it's great. Here is a link to their...
I said it on CTARS and I'll say it again, gorgeous tank!
I also have a handheld, the HM TDS-3 per AZ's advice, I love it. It's very accurate, easy to use and not expensive. Even though I also have the...
