Personally, I think the TEK is going to spank it if the acrylic shield is not used on the TEK. If they are both tested with the acrylic splash shields in place and they have both been allowed time to warm up, I wouldnt be surprised if it was close, either way.

what if you took the shield off of the Nova?

But, the TEK is not fan cooled and they notoriously do lose a signifigant amount of par from heat build up when the shield is installed. So, with the shield off of both the Nova and the TEK, I think the TEK will spank the Nova. As long as the shield is removed from the TEK, I dont think the Nova has a chance, with or without the shield on the Nova. IOW, I dont think the shield on the NOVA will make a huge difference. But with the Shield on the TEK, I think it will be interesting. We'll see. I could be way off. |

Hmm when do you think the test will be done? I heard that the TEK screws rust, this true?

I have no idea about the details Grim and moprint worked out for testing. I guess Grim would have the best idea regarding when he will be able to get it done.
I dont know anything about the TEK screws rusting or not rusting. |

The screws on the Tek rust, mine did in about a month. The same thing happened to my Reef Optix 3 Reflector (also Sunlight Supply) the screws rust up, but the both the Reef Optix and the Tek the fixture itself has not rusted.

I sent Grim my fixture Wed. I havn't tracked it to see when he will get. With Christmas next week I don't know when he will be able to do the test. This part of a whole system ugrade for me so I told him whenever he could around to it. Grim or I will keep you updated on the test and results.

Hey Siwelk is there anyway you could get a better pic of the reflector? Maybe take some of the bulbs out and snap some pics?

I have been running the 36" on my 46 bow front for about 2 weeks now, I have to say it is a bright fixture, the only complaint I have is the 12" width of the fixture makes getting into the tank difficult. Even though there were a few short cuts taken, the fixture is well worth the price.
