Default Re: Lighting confusion...

I've read through some of the lighting sites, and I don't understand why they're calling T6 "New and inproved". I have a 48" tank that I need to light, and from what I can see, T5 fixtures are too overpriced. I can build a T5 fixture with 6 bulbs for $140. They're selling them for $300 and up!?!? I don't understand that.

I found the T6 fixture at "AQUATRADERS.com" and they're an aquarium supply company. Why would they sell T6 fixtures if they're no good for aquarium use!?!?!? I have emailed the company, I hope to hear back soon. I guess I should price out and order a 6 bulb T5 setup, with reflectors, huh? Thanks for the help guys!
