I build my own setup that is similar to the hybrid models with a Kessil 360x and 2 orphek OR2 bars. Those orphek bars have a lot of punch and really eliminate my shadowing issues.

yea I’m more or less talking about switching to their reflectors to hopefully push out more par.
Although I'm an ATI supporter, PACsun had some really nice fixtures but they didn't compete price wise and their customer service on sold units was sketchy. That probably led to minimal sales and then the result was pulling out of a market that isn't profitable.
I had a lot of good conversations with Przemek
Dude,Understood - and makes sense
Dude,
Going to hit you up soon if you are still growing frags!!!
Hope all is well Nate, still remember you buying that 1" acrylic cube off me in the day, that was one heck of a tank!
Cheers!
What changed?I am so close to scratching my hybrid plans, and biting the ATI bullet 6x39 Sunpower.
Cheers BigE, have followed you for quite a long time, just in the shadows, thanks for what you do for our hobby!
That’s a bummer. I always seem to have a bad experience with anything new I buy, so I know the feeling. What bars would you go with your ati? I really like these orpek or2 bars but i feel like they would look funny on an ati.
That’s lame. One thing that has always bothered me a little about some facets of this hobby is the DIY expectation (and it used to be worse, I think). I pay for a piece of equipment with the expectation that it works out of the box and it turns out, you need a new end plate or are asked to modify the new equipment in order for it to function or whatever the case may be. I’ll pay a premium for this stuff to simply work out of the box.Ahhhhh, Geissemann made it here, decided to keep it and go ahead and at least see it setup....
After break out, here is my first, out of the box impression. So the included end plates cut out for power cord does not natch up, you gotta be kidding me!!!
Thank goodness I didn't use screws or anything, just a quick look, and defective straight away. I am 100% returning it, at this point, go with what I know, lol, probably just going 6x39 watt ATI and use supplement led bars. Glad your setup working out for ya!
You’ll always be important to us, @Perry@Pedoconfuego
Here is exactly how important I am for my deeds with Aquaforest. Who is US distributor for Giesemann? Answer, same as Aquaforest.
I texted a rep I know a week ago = crickets....
Called in for support and to purchase, on my dime, I don't expect wholesaler cost, but for goodness sake, put another 25% for retail margin and sell me what I need to make this work. But what I get, right out the box, not functional without modding/voiding warranty, is simply unacceptable!
Ughh

I will be following this closely Perry. I have 2 Gen 4 radions right now but have really been thinking of going back to T5.Hey guys,
So back and forth I have gone in the last week trying to decide on Aquatic Life vs. ATI 6 bulb fixture. I have all the LED needed, but something in my gut, despite $561 for Sunpower vs. $280 for hybrid, I decided on ATI. Should be here soon, now the excitement starts all over again!
