Im going to buy a 6 bulb T5 fixture for my LPS Cube. Its 60 gallons, 24x24x24.
I am in between the 6x24 ATI Sunpower or the 6x24 ATI Powermodule. I know that the Powermodule runs more fans and has a different design. Is this worth the $180 difference?

I say if you can afford the difference, buy the more expensive one, I think in the long run you will be happier. The fans will keep the bulbs cooler and this makes them last longer and you will get your money back in time from the extended bulb life.

Go with the Powermodule. The key to great performance out of T-5s are keeping them cool. The fans with that unit helps with this and will produce more par
