LED Lighting Help

[straightrazorguy]

I have a couple of 2 yr-old Maxspect Mazzaras Series P hanging over a 3 ft-long 55 gal tank. It's a mixed tank with some SPS and some LPS and zoas. Yesterday I lost a whole channel on my Mazzaras, and I could not revive it. I contacted Maxspect with questions and haven't heard back.

I feel like I'm at a crossroads: the Mazzaras have been quite troublesome for me, and depending on what the bill comes up to, I may decide to cut my losses and go for a different LED system altogether. But before doing that, I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of this forum. After some research I'm looking at:

- 1 GHL Mitras 6200 module ($ 1000-1200 US)
- 1 AI Hydra module (do I need 2?) plus an AI controller ($590 + $ 79 for the AI Controller + $ 40 for the hanging Kit= $ 709 US). Will I need 2 modules, though?
- 1 Orphek Atlantik module ($ 900 US). The problem is I don't have an Android device and if I buy one I add another $ 140. Let's say $1040 US.

I'm not happy with Orphek for not allowing any device other than Android to control their stuff. I'm not happy with AI for going away from ReefKeeper (so you have to buy their controller!). The Mitras look like the best option.

Anyway, these are the systems I'm currently looking at, unless Maxspect comes through for me. Any ideas/recommendations?
