Hi Kevan, I've been stalking this great thread :) Beautiful growth too!

Why do you think you should drop the coral plus for the true atinic? Curious... I am about to build a 180g and use what I have plus add 2 more ATI T5s. So I would have 2 AI Sol Blues and 4 ATI T5s. ATM I have only 2 T5s with Tek2 reflectors (Coral Plus and Purple Plus) and plan to add 2 blue plus. Is there a specific reason you think you should change out the coral+ for the true atnic? Something missing or too much?

Thanks,

Vortechs are overrated. They are noisy and have narrow flow. I see more people selling the MP40s than any other pumps.

dude if vortechs are overrated why do they a. work so well b. sell so many and c.come up with great new ideas that make my corals happy as hell. maybe you hate what you cant have or build. and if they are so stupid why is ati putting out a light like this right now late 2014??

Why would you bring back up a post this old just to try to argue?
