Getting ready to buy a setup and have not built a hood yet. I was considering these 3 options for my 75 gal:
http://reefgeek.com/products/categories/lighting/104193.html
$309 48" Tek Light Hood
http://reefgeek.com/products/categories/lighting/104068.html
$299 48" Tek Retrofit Kit
http://reefgeek.com/products/categories/lighting/104434.html
$359 48" Icecap ballest
I plan on having a mixed reef. If I go with the Tek fixtures is it worth getting the retrofit kit? At a $10 difference it would be easier to get the hood and not build a canopy that could trap some heat. Otherwise, between the icecap and the tek retrofit do I need to overdrive the lamps for what I plan on keeping?
I know the lights may end up burning my softies but I plan on creating some kind of rock shelf to hide them under.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
