DIY Fans in a 8b Tek light

[batt600]

Hay guys i just installed 4 120mm fans in my Tek light .It was so easy to do . I can controll them with the 4 channel fan controller so i can raise the speed or lower it . my next move will be changing the reflectors to the Aquactinics reflectors thay are 98% reflectivity . This should make the light put out alot of par just like the ATI P/M .

Alot more goes int othe output then just the reflectors, tek is 95% unless u go with their new line which is 98% the ballast make as much as a difference as the reflectors to a degree, nice job btw, lol i just have 2 80 cfm fans blowing across mine

Aquactinics reflectors thay are 98% and fit in the tek light

didnt say they wont fit, but to spend 8X$30 TO REPLACE REFLECTORS FOR A VERY MINOR IMPROVEMENT ISNT WORTH IT

To me its worth it . I didnt know the new tek reflectors was 98% might look into that one as well
And its not minor it a big differnts . I think it was on reef central or a other forum were that did a par test with the fans installed and the Aquactinics reflectors and the par# were a big jump . This improvemt put it up there with the ATI P/M in par
