T-5 recomendations

fatrip · 04/24/2007, 10:39 AM

hi i am getting a T-5 fixture in the present to near future and i was wondering some peoples thoughts on some of the different brands. it needs to be a 24" fixture, either 4 or 6 lights. thanks

I can't find any 24" that is comparable to the Tek, this is another one I'm interested but that does not have tank mount bracket. I heard ATI makes one that is better than the Tek, but I can't find any info on it.

Aquactinics is working on one. Should be of the highest quality.
