ATI for the win. My next tank will have at least a 6x54 ati fixture with some type of LED for my pleasure

Not to be a party pooper.
Yes ATI is probably the best out there. I run a sunpower and will never switch. How will you pair it up with the hydra though. You would want the hydras in the middle with t5 on either side. With that type of setup you would be better going with T5 retrofit. But if your going led/t5 I'd consider the ATI Powermodule and get the best of both worlds.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a good T5 retrofit kit. I would prefer the 60" bulbs, but I think I can make due with 48" lamps. I would also prefer a remote ballast so as to keep the extra weight down. I have three Kessil A360s and would like to place one bulb on either side of the Kessils. Thoughts?
