I have a 100g tank that I'm looking to improve the lights from my VERY basic set up right now. I'm looking at the Nova Extreme 8x54, Nova Extreme Pro 6x54, or a TEK 8x54. Any suggestions?????? Right now my tank is just a FOWLR, but I "might" start to include corals in the near future......
I know the Extreme Pro offers seperate reflectors which I've heard are very important.....although I've heard you want as much light as possible, so I should go with the "8" light over the "6".
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would have to say that I would just get halides if you know eventually you are going to get corals. Might just save time and money in the long run. Just my two cents ;-)

I am looking into either the Tek elit systems or spending the extra money for the raved about ATI powermodule lights. From what I've read either one should be able to support almost any coral depending on watts to gallons, and a decent amount of people argue for T5's over halides so go with what you like IMO

if its t5, ati is nice bc i just ordered one. tek elite is the new version, but who knows when that fixture is coming out. nova pro is decent but not the best. spend the extra $$ if u can, and get a better t5 fixture to begin with.
