48" 6x54W Tek Light T5 High-Output Fixture or Nova extreme pro 6x 54W?
With the tek light i can pick which bulbs i want which i was thinking:
ATI Blue Plus
GE 6500K Daylight
ATI Blue Plus
UVL Aquasun
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue
Both have individual reflectors
The nova comes with fans and legs the tek seems to not...Which one would be a better deal?
Im thinking the pro and order different bulbs
I have a 2 -75 gal tanks with hard and soft corals and several fish...i have a nova extreme on one now and i need to get one of these lights for the other...any input would be great.
Thanks, Art

I dont have experience with either but I believe the Nova is less expensive and ready to roll right out of the box whereas the Tek requires purchasing just about everything individually and is more expensive. Ive read good things about the Nova Pro and was going to get one myself until I got a great deal on a Coralife 2 x 250 metal halide setup.

what they all said, , like Bob I have the NExPro. A lot less money than the Tek but more "bang for the buck". ......... Zero problems here too.........

I just bought the Nova Extreme Pro 36" 6 bulb light for 180 refurbished. I did not realize it but just found out that Current USA auctions off their refurbished lights and equipment. If you want a link PM me and I will send it to you for their auction storefront.
