![]() How can adding another 2 3rds power not be much of a differance
It may not be an ATI but a 6 bulb TEK over driven with a 660 ballast is still half the price.

![]() I've already posted this as a response to another person's question but I'll post it here and then post a new thread:
SLS is releasing a new fan-cooled version of the Tek light with an included acrylic shield and reportedly improved reflectors. I'd wait to buy a Tek light until the new year. You then have the option of getting the un-cooled Tek at a presumably lower price or getting a better fixture with active cooling. The cooling at this point looks like it may be a little rinky-dink based on casual observation of the single fan, but who knows how well it works until it's released.

![]() As already posted you should be able to keep just about anything with that light....I am running two 3' six bulb teks over a 6', 20" deep tank....heavily SPS dominant (and not just the "easy" ones), with 11 clams at the bottom of the tank....not too many LPS, not because of lighting but because the flow is too high for most of them....Now that being said...if tek made an eight bulb 3' light I probably would have gone that direction...if you have it in your budget to get the 4' eight bulb, I would go for that light instead
