Just Got the new Aqua Medic Oceanlight T5 fixture... Much Nicer Than My TEK!

are u still up playn with that fancy new light Rod??? lol

So are they individual reflectors like the tek or like the sunlight supply new wave fixtures where it's one big reflector that is bent to accomodate each bulb?

I hope they've improved the requirements to change the bulbs. Changing bulbs on my AquaMedic OceanLight fixture is a royal PIA involving removal of 16 individual screws. Once the screws are removed, the fixture wants to collapse in on itself so you have to hold it open while you remove the glass and a portion to get access to the bulbs.

No screws to remove at all. The cover plates are in three pieces and slide out quite easily. I posted pics in my build thread http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...threadid=63787

I am looking into the Aqua Medic T5 light for my tank.
How do you like it so far?
Do you get a shock if you touch the light?
I ask because I've heard there old light fixtures had issues.
Is it UL certified?

Really nice setup.

Here is the link to the Euro site, it's a little more extensive than the North American one http://www.aqua-medic.de/seawater/en...T5%206x%20top/

I couldn't be happier with mine. I think the two features that stand out the most for me are the moonlights and the three piece glass splash cover. It's so easy to pull and clean or to access the bulbs. The hanging kit allows for the fixture to be tilted as well so bulbs can be changed in place.
