T 5 LIghts Solar or Tek

[stangbabe1993]

I'm looking at 2 sets of t 5 lights with 6 bulbs for my 90 which brand is better the teck or solar brand? does anyone have any experience with either one

I prefer aquactinics

the solar one has 6 bulbs in 1 unit 3 10000k and 3 blue actinic the teck one is 2 bulbs, so i would have to get 3 sets, so that would be 3 10000k blue and 3 10000k white

anyone else

My vote is for the TEK. Yes, it's split 4 bulbs2 bulbs and not 33 but you really dont need 3 actinics. I feel that having 4 daylight bulbs and 2 actinics has worked wonders for my tank...

i dont know if solar has individually reflected bulbs but i know tek is. they are a good brand, although i love my aquactinics constellation

I've never heard of Solar brand. Do you have any more information on it?
Personally I'd stick with Aquactinics or TEK. ATI if you don't mind spending money.

not much its on that site. it says german individual reflectors. i have 2 vho actinics already should i just use all 6 bulbs in the 10000K. i have 2 x 250 watt MH bulbs right now was just thinking of changing to help on the electric bill. i have t 5 on my 29 gal and i put some zoos in there and they are doing great could never get them to live with the MH bulbs.
