For my new build I needed a four bulb T5 fixture to supplement my halides and to use as an all day light fixture. I owned a TEK and I don't know if they have improved with the Elite but I found the build on the original was flimsy, those mounting legs were wobbly, the splash guard was nothing but a piece of acrylic that you can buy at Home Depot. and Sunlight Supply should include some sort of mounting hardware with the fixture. When I heard Aqua Medic was coming out with a new Oceanlight I had to get my hands on one. I have always been a fan of Aqua Medic, they are very high quality fixtures at a price that won't break the bank. I managed to find one out of the US and it arrived today, I fell in love with this thing as soon as I opened the box! It comes with mounting legs and a hanging kit, AB bulbs, the fixture body is tons better than the TEK, individual contoured reflectors, and LED moonlights built right in (very similar to the way Icecap has it done)! I got it for less than the price of the TEK. My four bulb unit does not have a fan but the six and eight bulb units do. I think Aqua Medic has a winner with this one! I can't wait to plug this thing in and give it a try. I'll post pics and give an update when I get it running.
