Has anybody seen one of these yet? I'm curious if they have separate reflectors etc.

LOL asking the same question there, looking at the 36" T5 6 Bulb Fixture with LED Moonlights - Coralvue myself for a 46 bow, cant find reviews and appears not to have any fans......you find out let me know and vice versa. Deal?

Will do. I have an email to the company to see what info I can find.
Thinking either TEK or ATI, ATI is way expensive but has the cooling fans and supposedly better ballasts.

I was also looking at this setup on Ebay and all the feedback seems good but hard to tell without seeing it in person.

Problem I see with them so far is that there is no fans, even PC have fans to help with cooling.

T5's don't get even close to as hot as PC's. I have T5HO's and the canopy doesn't need a fan at all; the bulbs don't affect the tank temp in the slightest.
