what would be a good t5-HO lighting system for a sps tank. it needs to be
24 inches in length, so what would be a good set to go after?

Or you could go with Hagen GLO t5's The double lamp fixture is only $150 and they come in 24" (thats what i have) so you could buy 2 of the double fixtures and have 4 t5's for about $380.

Why are people paying so much for tek lighting ??? I think I can get the light for half that price I have sent 4 people to where that is and three have bought them within the last two weeks. I know someone is happy getting double the cost.

Hey thanks for noticing.
As far as becoming a pro you are whom you surround yourself with. Hanging out with fenner and some of his pals sure will teach you a lot real fast. Not to mention I read about three books a day on swf. I sure have a long way to go but as far as lighting spending 2 straight months devouring myself into it I have learned a few things. Like you don't know jack crap about lighting... Do you still think the nova pro has individual reflectors lol.??

Good to see someone paid around the right price

the tek 4x24w t5 is a good fixture. it costs about $400 with bulbs.

Hey nycobb oddysea is a decent light with the new electronic ballast but if you researched it you would know that.
If you do not think the above is a ridiculous price for a tek 24 then please purchase everything you need thru me. I could sure use some extra money for my solar flares especially after tossing My fluval fx5 under the tank

u sure do talk a lot. i get a good laugh reading ur past and present posts. u claimed to hv visited over 200 lfs through out the states, and yet know nothing about reef keeping just 4-7 weeks ago? btw, if u r so good at what u claimed, like building ur own light and skimmer, how come we never see any of the fishtank pics? is it bc u couldnt keep them alive past 3 days? in a few of the past postings by u, u claimed to hv bought a foxface, a ray, a mandarin, and the list goes on and on, how r they doing now?
