Does this fixture come with a splash guard?

Determine splash guard, if you mean safety glass from tubes then yes as per any decent lamp, I would NEVER buy one without.

Yes, I mean a sheet of glass or acrylic to protect the lamps/reflectors. The old Fauna Marin Ultra Solaris didn't have anything to protect the reflectors from salt spray and the reflectors were quickly pitted, stained, and damaged - this was one of the biggest complaints about the unit. I assume Fauna Marin recognizes this and made the necessary changes.

Still eagerly waiting to find out about a release date and price (yes I realize it's only been a day but I'm like a kid at Christmas right now)

There is a guy on ReefCentral, I believe GrimReefer is is name, who has tested various T5 units and bulbs. I have a T5 Tek-light and I was hoping to upgrade to an ATI Powermodule. If you can get your lights tested and they stack up to the Powermodule then I would be interested in getting your lights. Quite frankly for a big investment of money on an item I will keep for at least 5 years, I won't be buying without some head-to-head comparison testing.

Does that mean these are discontinued?
