Which Light is best for me?!

estone · 09/21/2010, 12:38 PM

I upgraded from a 45gal reef tank to a 65 gal, but now I need a new light and have been looking at several different t5s. Which of these is the best for my tank. I have soft corals

Out of those three the Nova pro is by far the best.If you want to go a step above that look into the new tek elites.

Yeah, I would look at the nova out of your choices. But honestly, for that price point I would get the original TEK fixture w/ bulbs its about $360 @ reefgeek.com and you will get a much better selection of bulbs over the stock blue and white combo and IMO a much better fixture. Check that out.
