Tek T5's - limited icecap 6 bulb model

[reefraff]

Grab one of the Azoo fan arrays the Drs. Sell. they can clamp right on the back frame of the tank. Adjust it so the air is striking the side of the fixture and deflecting above and below it.
This rig (6" clamp on fan) blowing down over the top of the 4x39 watt fixture was good for about a 22% increase in output

I was just on the phone with steve from pr and he said a guy I sent was callin on the other line from Cin was that you lol? I thought it was funny because he was just calling me about some current light extreme pro's he was testing. 72' he said with the bulbs it came with it blew but he replaced them with the geisman bulbs and it was like night and day. He was telling me withh that fixture you can save money and replace the bulbs with geismans but he wants to test it a bit with the bulbs to see how long they last etc.
Another thing they are going to be havinng some huge garage like sale selling their used stuff and new stuff sometime next month. I am kind of holding out to see what I can get some two month old lights for. I know retros are going to be dirt cheap. Theyy are going to sell bulbs used for like 3 months and have lots of life left on them for 8 or 9 bucks. I am gonnna stock up so as I have some replacments cheap
