i need ideas

[toothscratcher]

ok on my 55 gal i have two lights 15 watt each and im looking to upgrade to be able to hold coral i was looking at the wavepoint HO T5's any suggestions?

What kinda price range are you trying to stay within?

The nova extreme pro's area good bang for your buck. Or you can get an ATI fixture with better bulbs for a bit more.
With t5's just make sure to get individual refelectorsfor your bulbs, this will give you alot more PAR than just a single reflector covering all bulbs in the fixture.

This is the light i'm looking at for my next tank setup 48" 6x54W Tek Light Elite T5 High-Output
I believe they are not as nice at the ATI's but not as expensive either

looking at the specs it looks like the nova is about 100 bucks cheaper for the same concept. same bulb configuration, same type of refelector, 2 switches, fans that come on with the switches
Tek elite 479.00
nova pro 359.00
Both should be fine lights, If i were going to spend 500 bucks Id get the ATI fixture though

Jstdv8 can you pm me where to find the ATI fixture for 500 bucks cause i havnt found em under 600-700 range

 

[jstdv8]

well, i was getting that off of the ATI website. But upon trying to find someone who sells them for that i only came across the fixture without any bulbs for that price
Not sure why ATI's suggested retail is 479.00 but nobody actually sells them for that. kina odd, everything else I can think of sugested retail is higher than what you find on the shelves.
