It includes the mounting bracket only. Bulbs he let me have all 6 for 100$ extra.

yeah buddy, everyone tells me that indivdual Tek reflectors are key key key, for T5. That is why they are pricy.
I am in the light upgrade mode right now (i want to keep SPS and clams) and trying to decide what to do, ither go with 2 x 250 HQI DE MH pendants or 6xTek T5.
If i will go T5 way it will have to be TEK with 6 bulbs because in 36" size even though they are High Output it is 39Watt bulbs not 54W, But brackets are creasy expensive arn't they ?!

Better to go with used mh half a grand I could buy alot of stuff!

Yeah but if you go with the mh then you'll need a chiller to run them which means a lot more money if you don't already have a chiller.

You could be right depending on what kind of staff you are talking about :)
In this hobby $500 is only a beginning.

Does anybody knows if this fixture has individual reflectors ?
Melina?

This light with 6 bulbs for $100 and legs for $70 is $700 after tax.
So tired of looking, reading and thinking almost ready to call Hidden Reef ....

$449.99 plus $100 for bulbs = $549.99 + tax = $627.49.

T5s Vs MH
 

I think you are right (Melina), usually MH create a heck of a lot of heat so a chiller would be needed. After all it might be cheaper to for a Tek T5 LF.

Did you pay $627.49 after taxes for the light fixture, bulbs and mounting brackets? that does not sounds too bad.

I know I could buy a HQI light fixture with that money but then I might have to buy a chiller due to heat and I don't really want to spend more money on a chiller.

T5"s
 

Go with the teks,you won't regret it,very low heat,i decided to go that route a year ago.No central air and main floor,i use the legs,mounted lights 6 " off the top.I was VERY lucky :) bought a 2 week old fixture off RC.. 8 Tube 48 inch...307 CAN shipped too my usa buds, 2 hrs away....Got the tubes on sale (ati) 20 bucks apeice.
