    I am in the process of ordering one of the following:

    Sunlight Supply Tek Light Elite 4 Bulb T5 Fixture (48 Inch, 4x54W)

    or

    Sunlight Supply Tek Light 4 Bulb T5 Fixture (48 Inch, 4x54W) (this one is $25 cheaper)

    what is the difference?

    Which bulb combos to get (this is a 55 gal LPS tank, with one or 2 clams down the road):
    All Giesemann T5 HO Bulbs:

    a)Midday
    b)Aquablue
    c) Actinic
    d)Aqua Pink
    e)Pure actinic

    Up in Canada and the Boxing day sale (similar to Black Friday) ends today!
    Thanks to all!

    The Elite is the better fixture due to active cooling (fans) if I remember right.

    Bulbs, 1 Aquablue, 1 Aquapink and 2 actinic.
