i have a 75 gallon tank that i am looking at setting up really soon. i want to go with T5HO and i want a 48" 4 bulb system. i have heard that tek lights are the best i have done my research but are tek lights really that much better then any other T5HO with individual reflectors? for instance the catalina system that i have also heard alot about on this site. i want to get the most light possible out of a system like this and im willing to spend the money on a tek system if they truely are better then the rest. (system willl be hung over my tank, all open i think ill be running Giesemannbulbs, unless the system comes with bulbs.)

thanks for the help.
