T5 Tek light or Fauna Marin

[masimake]

Currently looking to upgrade my fixture. After countless hours of searching these threads I have narrowed my choices down to two fixtures. Looking for anyone who ownes them and has any useful information to better make a decision. My tank is a 90 gallon mixed reef and I was looking into the 6 bulb configuration. Any other recomendations would be greatly appreciated

Fauna Marin all the way! The Tek Light does not have a fan and therefore can have heat issues. The reflectors on the Fauna Marin are better and include bulbs where the Tek does not.

Is there any other way to mount the fauna fixture besides hanging? Is there some sort of footing brackets?

I don't know if there is another way. PM AquariumObessed and ask them, they may have a better answer.

I have no input on the FM unit, so I can't give any comparison. I have two TEK units over my 125 and they do a fine job of growing SPS corals. I use a single computer fan underneath each unit to aid in cooling. They have been running for over a year with zero issues so far.
