Current-USA Nova Extreme's to Get Individual Reflectors

FlipFlops24/7 · 12/01/2006, 08:04 AM

I just read that the Nova Extreme series of t-5s from current-usa is supposed to start being produced with individual reflectors, like the Tek lights. Does anyone know when this will happen? I am deciding between the Teks and the Nova Extreme. I want the novas because they have fans built in. The Teks do not have fans, but they have the individual reflectors, so it's such a toss up.

Should I call Current-USA?

I just called Current-USA and they confirmed that the Nova Extreme T-5 units are going to be getting individual reflectors like the Tek units.

They also told me that these lights will be available for purchase in 1 month!

update. The retro nova extreme T-5s with individual reflectors will be out in 1 month. The ready to use fixtures that you set on your tank won't be out until spring 2007.

Any updates, prices, ship dates for the retro kits? I just got my Nova Extreme (without reading here first

) and then saw this thread. I just emailed them but was wondering if anyone else has heard anything.
