looking either to upgrade or get a second unit and just saw that they are coming out with a new icecap fixture and was wondering how they will compare to each other and tek lights.
has anyone done par measurements with the standard aquactinic model? and compared to to others like the tek, noca extreme, or aqua medic, or ati powermodul?
i know their new icecap unit will be more powerful than the standard version, but it should be. it is more than 3x the price ($800 v $261.45).
how do you all feel about their price, $500, for a non-ballasted unit? just for comparison sake, an 8 bulb tek is $360 with ballasts, and an ati power modul 6 bulb unit is about $600 with ballasts and bulbs.
in the end, regardless of price, it will be the performance and features that should determine worth.
however, its a shame and somewhat odd that they havent done their own tests and published the data so we can all have a good understanding on how the lights rate to other systems out there.
so im hoping someone on here has done it for us.
