Which would you choose and why?

Tek. Better fixture and better reflectors plus each lamp has its own reflector.

IMO pay the little extra and get the elite as well.

Personally, I dont like coralife products. Out of those 2 fixtures I would go with the Tek. Is there a reason you are going with a 4 lamp? I would go with a 6 lamp or 8 lamp. You will find that with a 6 lamp you will be able to fine tune the color better than a 4 lamp. For an extra $65 you can go from the 4 lamp to the 6 lamp Tek.

If it was my tank, I would go with

I would go with the 6 or 8, but affordability is a concern

I would go with the tek. I have had two Tek fixtures and have been happy with them. I don't like coralife either.

Problem with the Tek is that you have to buy separate bulbs. Other than that I'm with you

Thats a good way to tell if your buying a good fixture or not. Most of the high end fixtures dont come with bulbs, most box store ones do ie Coralife and Wavepoint.

Although I do beleive ATI is including bulbs with their fixtures right now.

I never looked at it that way. What bulbs would you recommend I buy for lighting a 75 mixed reef?

[Mandosh]

Concept carries ATI bulbs, so I'd go with those.

Spectrum wise though, obviously a 10,000 and an Actinic, but would I do a pair of each? or is there an other bulb combo I should use?
