K, looks like I will be swapping my Maxspect Razor out for an ATI fixture. Doesn't look like you can get the Power Modules any more, that's a shame. Sunpowers seem to do well though from what research I have done. I have a couple of questions tho...
1. Does anyone run the dimmable version of the SunPower? I saw a pretty recent thread on Reef Central that looks like the dimmable ones have been having issues. Would I be better off getting the non-dimmable version? I would like to have the control and a single plug, but performance and reliability take the front seat on this one. So, if it looks like the non-dimmable is more reliable then I will go that direction.
2. For a 54" Long x 24" Wide x 19" Tall tank, I know that I will need a 48" long fixture. But, what should I be looking at for width/bulb count? I was thinking that the 6 bulb seems sufficient given it is a shallower tank, but wondering if the coverage of an 8-bulb fixture might be what I need to look at? I would like to get away with just the 6 bulb fixture, and might add a 48" reefbrite actinic or two later on down the road..
What's your opinion?
