36" T5 Fixture by Mick

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 7/2/2010

Comments: I just received my T5 Fixture. Had a little trouble turning in the smaller T5 bulbs (not much room for thumbs and forfingers) but other than that, this thing makes huge amounts of light. It's light, vented for heat, highly reflective and has two on/off switches for easy light control. Well made. I like it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This light illuminates my whole room, and the 4 or 2 light switches is perfect for simulating Dawn and Dusk. So either this light systems works great or its the bulbs. I am using D-D Giesemann 3 pure actinic and 3 midday. I am just starting back up my tank but it looks great. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I bought the 48" x 4 unit, and am extremely happy with it. Low profile, and very little heat output. Built solid, the entire body is aluminum, no cheap plastic parts to warp or crack. Almost all the light goes into the tank, instead of into your room. After testing different combo's, I ended up with up with 1 true actinic + 1 6500 daylight, and 2 10K bulbs. I use seperate timers, and have the actinic and 6500 on one, and the 10K's on the other. This way I can give somewhat of a dusk/dawn effect before kicking on the full set. I would recommend getting the tank brackets, and also the splash shield if you don't have a lid on your tank. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

36" x 6 bulb Tek Light by DIANA H

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/6/2010 from Michigan

Comments: My tank is a 65 gallon breeder tank, 36"x24"x18". I have a freswater planted aquarium with community fish. I replaced my JBJ 96W double power compact light with the 36" 6 bulb T5 Tek Light. I use a CO2 tank and Eheim's Liquidoser for daily fertilization. I have seen phenominal growth with my plants. One of my aponogeton bulbs has been flowering like crazy! I would definitely recommend this light. One demerit however. I do not use a glass canopy as I want 100% of usable light spectrum. As the Tek light does not ship with a protective bulb cover (available for an additional charge) I wish the company had constructed the bulb sockets with the 3 piece moisture proof sockets. I would be willing to pay a little extra for the convenience of an "open water" style vs. a closed water unit. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Very pleased with the fixture. As a novice I didn't understand that additional kits were needed to place on tank that would have been helpful. When I called back customer service was very helpful with adding the items I needed and answering my questions. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: 6 54 watt 48" fixture looks great over the 90 gallon. Fits in the canopy just right and with individual reflectors with each bulb the tank is very bright. One of the only fixtures I could find with individual reflectors at a reasonable price! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have this on my 95 gallon freshwater fully planted and it works great. Good quality product. Doesn't come with any chains or legs of course so plan for that when mounting. Two separate cords and two separate switches that work two bulbs each. I work mine on my timer for varying light outputs. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have a 36"X 36"X 27" tank, I put this fixture on along with a 4 bulb unit a total of 10 39W bulbs. The bulbs I used are the D-D Giesemann 6 Actinic+ (VERY BLUE) and 4 Aquablue (they are white with UV) the tank looks like 1 10K and 2 20K metal Halide Lights are on it without the heat! I don't give 5 stars to anything and I did to this. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

awesome value by verysatisfied

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 4/2/2008

Comments: Beware: This fixture can bleach your sps! it's VERY intense. be sure to use a good combination of high PAR and actinic/pink bulbs so that you don't have too high of a PAR. Power consumption is low and wouldn't throw the breaker like the dual 250W HQI halide sometimes did. T5's allow you to fine tune colour to your own personal taste Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Thanks for helping us in deciding to purchase this light system. The corals seem to be loving it already. It makes better sense than halides for us, with less heat build up, and less strain on our electric bill. This set up seems like the right one for a 120 gallon. Thanks again........ Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Tek Light by PETE STEFANI

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/21/2007 from FORT LAUDERDALE, FL UNITED STA

Comments: Excellent craftmanship. Easy to mount directly or with hooks (provided). Very low profile and low wattage for less evaporation. Suggest that Tek light provide a tool to twist in the lamps with. And when ordering, ask the customer what type of lamps they want. The "Bulbs not included" note is not very noticable on the web page. Otherwise a very good product so far. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
