Default T5's by Sunlight

Has one seen this http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merch...ode=SunlightT5
I was wondering if the reflector is parabolic for each individual bulb or if it's one flat reflect for all the bulbs. Any ideas? Does anyone own one of these hood? Would be a terrific design if the reflector wrapped around each bulbs like a continues "s" shape.

Did you notice that you would still have to buy the 6 bulbs separately? I use several T5s & as supplemental lighting, they're great but the bulbs don't have a long life. I find 6-8 months. Don't know about these HO bulbs' longevity though. Might want to see if there is any info on that.

From what I heard Tek reflectors aren't as good as ATI or SLR by icecap.

And as seahorse_fanatic said you would have to purchase bulbs as well.

Check this out https://www.customaquatic.com/custom...dexid=lt-t5-rt

I just purchased 2 of their 39W retros. They have spider parabolic reflectors as well. From what I heard these reflectors are better then Tek once and with these you get bulbs as well.

If you really want the same fixture, check this out (go down half page):

https://www.customaquatic.com/custom...dexid=lt-t5-sy

It's the same system you want for 50 bucks less and if you are a member of RC you will get 10% off as well.

Hope this helps
