![]() I am going to purchase a 10 bulb 48" ATI Powermodule within the next two weeks, I have finally decided to go T5's for a number of good reasons.
Anyone else looking to get one of these? If so maybe we can find a deal if we partner up....... The best prices I have found so far are south of the border unfortunately but I will be contacting some of the local sponsors. ![]() Ian Last edited by Oceanic; 11-06-2009 at 06:08 AM. |

![]() IMO anything more then 6 tubes wouldnt get you much saving in terms of energy and $.
I am using 6 bulb T5 Tek and just to replace 6 bulbs after 20% discount i paid $164.60. regular price on a 48" tube is $34+tax if you get 10 bulbs you are pushing up to 300 or more depending on your tube preference. For a 48" tank you can get very good SPS growth and color with two 250W MH for a lot less . |

BTW after i got new 10K, Fiji Purple and 14K KZ bulbs from J&L, SPS responding very rapidly with new growth and better polyp extention ! maybe because i also finaly had to clean the reflectors LOL. This year i am replacing actinics with Fiji Purple's if anyone is wondering ask me later how SPS will do wthout actinics. Current bulb config is : Two KZ 10K's Two KZ 14K's Two Fiji Purples. Sorry about highjack, i think ATI is a great T5 fixture. It just was just a bit much to see a bill of $165 for 6 new T5 tubes LOL. |
