From what I could find, Aquactinic TX5 are workhorse ballasts, and the Solar Flare models have IceCap ballasts.

Seems to be a lot of happy ppl with these lights on RC as well.

Has anyone ripped apart a Tec light? I was looking at a place that sells replacment ballast for them and they are WH5's, is that what they come with?

Teklights use Workhorse ballasts. The 60" teklight retrokit I got came with a WH7 ballast.

The Aquactinics Solar Flare is right up there with the ATI for "ultimate T5" status.

If he was to go mH what could he do? A 150? 2? Combo or something?

Made it to the city tonight and got a chance to stop in and look at the Hagen glo t5 setup. I think for the price of them I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks and pick up a 4 bulb unit with individual reflectors. The price of two of those units isn't much different than a tek. Will look around more tomorrow and see what everyone has and make a decision. If any sponsors would like to pm me with some prices that would be very helpful. I'm looking for 4 bulbs 36" with individual reflectors turnkey setup not a retrofit.

Thanks
Brad
