aquactinics mh/t5 combo ?

[dmjordan]

anyone have one of these or experience with one. i saw them at macna and they were cool to the touch. their reps said they won't raise the temp of the tank by more than 1 degree. are these a good light and will they raise the tank temp? they had theirs sitting on top of the tank with no legs.

Aquactinics makes great stuff, but I'm not sure how their MH/T5 fixtures stand up to others. Their T5 fixtures are probably the best American made ones out there. I have read that a certain bulb yellowed the splash shield, but I don't remember which brand.
The owner is on -- and could probably answer any questions you'd have.
