My two cents.
ATI is the best for T5's. FYI 250 MH set ups are comparable with sunlight supply Tek's. ATI sunpowers out perform the tek by 20% if i remember correctly, let alone the power module beats the sunpower due to more active cooling.

That fish needs it fixture your looking at is not even comparable (its like comparing an amature sport to a pro series). You won't be disappointed with ati and personally thats what is replacing my tek and a good choice for your lighting. do some research on t5 only tanks on RC, i am sure you will be happy with what you find

Thanks for the help guys. I'll post pics of the tank when I get it started....just finished making my coast to coast overflow with Bean Animal drains. Looks like I'll be going T5 from what I've read here, with an ATI fixture perhaps.

Would love to see pictures of your overflow...I'm planning on doing the Bean Animal on my next tank too.
