ATI Sunpower

I would rather have even a 4 bulb ATI over a 6 bulb NEP anyday. Especially with the stock bulbs from NEP. With ATI you can choose your own bulbs. I am very happy with my fixture. I wish I would have waited a little longer to get the Powermodule for the extra fans, but I have 2 auxiliary fans that do the job. You may want to hook the fans up to a spare DC converter. I had a dozen laying around the house from old toys and such not in use anymore. The one they give you is not the best because it has adjustable output and gets a little hot.

 

From what I was looking at the sunpower 60" for my 125g looks like it had 2 fans on it but if not I appreciate the info. It really is a nice looking system, the powermodule does look nice but that is really stretching the money for me so I will be happy with the sunpower.

Yeah thats why I went with the sunpower. I got the 36" 6x39W and it has two small very quiet fans. I have mine under a canopy which keeps in more heat so I wired up two more computer fans on the canopy. Seems to help a little.

 

Its good to see someone on here who actually has the system and really likes it. I have heard a lot of good things about it and Dr.Frag is very high on ATI so I figure if I am going to spend the money on lights, which are a top priority in this hobby, I might as well get the best.

 

Yeah I talked to Dr. Frag via PM for several days and I had no idea about ATI until he opened my eyes. I was about to get the TEK and I'm glad I didn't. You will not be disappointed by these lights.
