help with fixture choice

[bruster9000]

I have a 48 by 18 by 17 rimless. I don't know if I should choose the tek 8 bulb or the tek elite 8 bulb. Which would be better? help would be much appreciated.

The tek 8-bulb over my 120 gallon barely fits over the tank. Maybe look into the 6 bulb. If you have the cash, go for the elite, as they're actively cooled by fans. If you have alot of cash, look into the ATI powermodule. just my .02

I know the tek is around 20 to 19.5 inches wide but from reflector to reflector is like 18 right?

I've seen numerous 75 use 8 bulbs.

keep in mind tho that if u get the legs and splash guard with the tek elite it will be like 100 dollars more (plus or minus) than an ati sunpower with same amount of bulbs. the ati doesnt have leg options but comes with hanging kit.

I love my Sunpower 6 bulb over my 36"x24"x17" tank. Plenty of light even though the tank is wider than the fixture by quite a bit.
