Which TEK fixture for my tank?

[xmetalfan99]

I went with a 36" 6 bulb tek for my 75G and love it. I think 6 bulbs will be to much for your tank though.

Here are photos of how I hung my lights:

Is it worth the price differance?

Honestly, for the price difference, i don't think so. The fans prolong bulb life, but for about $30 you can install your own fans in to the fixture and control it with a fan controller.

My only worry is the sound. Will the regular TEK be loud or anything? If not im getting the regular.

The fans will help to cool the fixture and actually provide more PAR.

Ok so it is probably worth the extra $ in the long run?

 

[Nuocmam]

In my opinion yes. Especially if you're looking to keep acros in there. That and the look of hooking up a fan to help cool the fixture won't be as nice.

Ok thanks for the info!
