ATI power module

Anyone using this T5 fixture? I'm thinking about making the switch from my current lighting (2-250watt 14k, 2-39watt actinic T5) to this T5 fixture.

I have a icecap 2-39watt t5 retro already in my lighting.

I don't think I need more light, I just feel like trying something different.
Right now I'm using 2-250watt 14k phoenix bulbs on a icecap ballast with 2-39watt t5 super actinics also run on an icecap ballast.

well, if you want to try something different......I would suggest switching over to SE fixtures and bulbs. keep the ballasts you are running....and just get a new reflector, some SE fixtures........and then try some SE Aquaconnect 14k bulbs.......they are PAR monsters.....very good for an sps tank.

i would try some other bulbs in place of the actinic, maybe a blueplus and a aquablue. the pheonix has a lot of blue, combine that with actinic and you're loaded with blue.

all i heard is that the ballast go out on them but might just be talk
