I have a four (54 watt) bulb tek light over my 75 gallon tank. I really love this fixture. I have a 36" 96 watt pc fixture that puts out more heat than the tek light. No need for any noisy fans. The fixture I bought from Ebay (used) came with the hanging brackets and also the steel support legs. I am using the legs at this time. I got a pretty good deal. The light is very penetrating. I have found a local dealer for replacement bulbs at a hydroponics place. I am very happy with this fixture. I gave it a nine only because it is tougher to find a variety of bulb colors, but this should change once more people use these lights.

LOVE this fixture. Perfectly penetrates 55 gallon. More efficient than Coralife and bulbs cheaper. Brackets a bit bulky, but who cares when you can adjust a couple inches length wise and a few inches height wise? Best Fixture yet!

I have the 48" 4X54W T5HO setup. This is a quality light that is affordable. You can feel the craftsmanship all the way down to the type of cable they use. The reflectors are also of high caliber.
