Helllo,

I'd like to get you all's opinion on which ATI Powermodule I should get for my tank? My tanks dimensions are 48" x 24" x 24".

Should I go with the 6 lamp or 8 lamp? I currently have an 8 lamp Tek fixture. The PAR on the 6 lamp powermodule will be much more than what I have now...

Thank you in advance.

if your majority is SPS go with the 8. if more lps then go with 6

With you aquascaping, 6 will be plenty. I have an 8 bulb on my 30" wide tank and it's plenty.

Well the plan is to do a mixed reef, Sps included.

That's what I'm thinking. Scott offered to trade his 8 for the 6 lamp I'm getting. Straight trade so it's tempting.

How come Scott wants a 6 bulb?

For his frag tank I guess.
