Oh, that is so ugly! Well, it's functional. Thanks so much for the photo as I can't find a photo anywhere. The Tek stand definitely is night and day difference. I'm thinking that for my mixed reef and really not doing any serious SPS, the Tek 6x 54w will probably give me better color combination and more than enough light. I'm going to see if I can get ahold of the Limited Edition that everyone raved about a couple months back... and how quickly it becomes junk compared to Aquactinics TX.
My local dealer brought up a good point, it all depends what you are keeping. Even the Novas with single reflector would be great for a fish only tank. The Teks can handle almost everything, but probably best for non SPS dominated tanks. While the Aquactinics handles SPS dominated tanks better than the Teks.
