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.

Also, these things are not light! I may have to run to Home Depot to get the proper ceiling bolts in order to suspend the thing!~

Aren't they something like 60 lbs ? I'm guessing mine is around 50lbs. Scary stuff. I would never trust anything but screws into the ceiling joists. Let's see this badboy!

Here is the box the unit came in~! Heavy! I am not the only one interested in what is inside! lol!  The packaging is actually top notch!  Almost unwrapped here! This thing is built like a tank!  The build quality is very impressive, These fans are nearly completely silent when I tested them! There is one fan per two bulbs. The air is drawn in through the fans and there are exhaust ports on the opposite end of each separate reflector channel.  Another picture completely unwrapped.  Here is the underside before I removed the plexi protective backing.  Peeling back the protective plastic, everything is well designed.  Here is a snapshot of the reflectors --- 10 X 54W individual reflectors, I can see why these reflectors are supposedly unmatched in the T5 world.  Here is how my bulbs arrived, I could only ship 6 bulbs per package so the other 4 bulbs are going to have to be purchased here before I can get the bad boy working and installed!   That's all for now, I will update more later when I get the last 4 bulbs this Sunday. 2 X Fiji Purple 1 X UVL True actinic 1 X UVL 75/25 Last edited by Oceanic; 11-04-2009 at 03:07 AM.

Here is a little excerpt from the link........... http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/i...infanchor.html Toggle bolts are the Cadillac (or Lexus, if you prefer) of hollow-wall anchors. They consist of two parts... the toggle itself (which looks like a pair of spring-loaded metal wings) and the accompanying machine screw. Toggle bolts are sized in two ways... by the diameter of the machine screw and by the length of the machine screw. The larger the screw diameter, the larger and stronger the toggle. The longer the screw, the thicker the material that can be hung or the thicker the wall it can be used in! Toggles are massively strong. A "puny" 1/8" toggle can safely hold 50 lbs on 1/2" drywall... a 3/8" toggle over 100 lbs! Two or three 3/8" toggles can easily hold up most kitchen cabinets on solid 1/2" drywall. That is, as long as the wall is strong enough! Toggles are the toggle of choice for hanging most anything from ceilings, too, such as hanging plants, mobiles, etc. The major exceptions would be "dynamic" objects such as ceiling fans, which require attachment to structural members. Also, though excessive weight may not break a large toggle through the ceiling, the ceiling itself may pull away from the joists!
