    Lighting is a big issue for me, and i manage to narrow to 2 choices which are

    Tek Elite 6x54w
    Aquactinic TX5 5x54w
    (due to the fact they offer legs)

    Which one should i get?

    Is there a place where i can get a bundle TX5 with bulbs?

    how much is the PAR difference?

    I'd go with the six bulb fixture over the five.

    I second that. More light, more watts per gallon, more coral growth.
