I am looking to switch out my Chinese box leds for t5's, I am looking for advice on fixtures to purchase. I have seen ATI is highly recommended but they are a little out of my price range. I do plan on getting ATI bulbs regardless of the fixture I buy. I have a 50 gallon 36x18x18 mixed reef. Does anyone have any advice as to fixture options other than ATI. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Welcome to R2R! I figure as long as the ballast that comes with the fixture and the reflectors are both quality then it doesn't matter which fixture you buy. At that point it's all about the bulbs. Just my opinion on the matter of course. :)
 
No way around it. Save your money and do it right the first time. ATI is your best bet. I have 2 fuxtures running and they work great. 1 fixture I have had for 6 years.

Welcome to R2R and good luck with your decision.
 
Welcome to R2R, I like for the Giesmann and ATI lights.
 
Thanks again. I'm sure ATI fixtures are awesome and I will no doubt get one later on down the road, but there has to be some other quality options out there.
