Friends,
I'm looking to upgrade the lighting on my tank from PC's to t5's and I'm tossing between two different fixtures: Current USA Nova Extreme Pro Series and the Tek.
The Current Extreme Pro seems to be much more economical since it comes with the mounting legs, the lights, and a splash guard... The Tek comes with nothing; even the bulbs are options. Is there's a catch to the NOVA Extreme fixture. Are the lights not as good as the Tek? What makes the Tek so much more expensive? Is it quality, amount of light, quality of light? Or does the price difference reflect only the finish?
My goal of the upgrade is to be able to keep SPS and actually have them grow. Would the Current Nova Pro enable me to do this?
First hand advice between the two light fixtures would be appreciated. Second had advice is also helpful. Thank you in advance.
