DOes anyone have a tek elite? How much better are they then the original tek? I know they have built in fans and such. Looking for a cheaper alternative to the ATI's

i have one that i just took offline and upgraded to an ati. We should've traded! lol

I've never had the original tek, but I liked my elite. It was decent but the only thing i didn't like was the fans. They would start up and make some loud sound for a min or two and then it goes away. Not really a big deal, but it annoyed me. I went with ATI since the par output was a bit more compared to the elite.

They have supposedly fixed the fan issue time will tell. I have the 6 bulb 54 watt version, and I have the legs. Good light, not as good as a ATI I have seen a couple of 36'' versions for sale in the used forum good prices

I havent seen any tek elites on the sale forum, check everyday. But my tank is only a 40 gallon breeder, so I really dont need the ATI, thats why i went for the tek elite.
