Lighting - T6 Ultimate Reef

[Domboski]

Does anyone have experience or information on a T6? They claim to be the all in one. I am concerned that this is not the case. If I need more lighting then I would like to get it earlier rather than later.

Thanks for your help!

Never heard of T-6 I may be in the dark on it though. I have heard of t-5 is that what you mean?

I have two of them. The weird thing is that no matter what website I find them on they all read the same. They take the exact wording from the box and paste it on their website.

What about waterproof endcaps?

It is amazing why they make so many different kinds of lamps, it is crazy. I can't see why the T6 would be any better than the T5HO?

When I was doing a search for T5 recently I came up with these. Looks like the manufacturer is quantum and they offer other color temps than the "ultimate reef" which really doesn't tell you anything about the bulb except that the manufacturer thinks they are "the perfect blended light source for any reef aquarium" - "perfect" and "any"...two words that "never" work in this hobby.
