Normal price at reef geek.

Does anyone know whether I could place a T5 retro in an acrylic canopy? I have a 60 gal Clarity Plus Acrylic aquarium, stand and canopy. I have a retro 260 W PC in there now?

I think I want to make the jump to t5s. Thanks

T5 do not get any hotter then PC. So it should be an easy fit..temp wise

Thanks Mike- That's really good news.

I know my Tek light is cooler then my old Pc coralife fixture.

Oh, this is the light I have:
