Hybrid Decision - ATI vs. Giesemann vs. Aquatic Life
I have 6 x T5 as part of my Red Sea Max 250 setup. I have been playing with the idea of switching to LED, but many friends are telling me not to go all the way to LEDs. So I am now looking into hybrids and cannot make up my mind between these three setups ...
1. ATI LED Hybrid Powermodule 4x39 Watt T5 / 2x75 Watt LED 2. Giesemann AURORA Hybrid 900mm 3. Aquatic Life frame with 2 X Hydra 26 and 4x39 T5 The price in Europe for the three above is about the same. I like the 1. or 2., but I have been told that their LEDs are not as good as Hydra or Kessil. Number 3. would give me that option, but the T5 are not cooled and cannot be dimmed. So any of you have an opinion and/or experience with the the above? |

I have the Ati power module and the leds work really well.
The powermodule is my favorite light after using metal halide, kessils, radions, ghl Mithras. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

-More friendly to your wallet is Aquatic Life if you had LED. You also get the option of switching out or adding addition LED at a later stage BUT its 2 power cables from the AL and 2 from your 2x Hydra.....whereas the ATI and Giesemann is a sngle power cable. I'm in exactly the same position as you Giesemann 1200m 2-3 Hydra with AL at a later date if I feel I need T5 ATI Powermodule Orphek V4 or Compacts

The poll results are starting to point to the Aquatic Life frame and adding my own LED to it.
I was starting to lean towards that option myself due to the flexibility of putting any LED I want into the solution and also pulling it out if not happy. The cost is not a cheaper solution for me because I don't have any existing LED. Any reason why Hydra 26 is not the one I should be putting in? The frame will take the following types ... Aqua Illumination (AI) Hydra 26 HD Aqua Illumination (AI) Hydra 52 HD Aqua Illumination (AI) Prime HD Kessil A360WE, A360NE Kessil AP700 EcoTech Marine Radion XR15w EcoTech Marine Radion XR30w Last edited by jjencek; 10/24/2018 at 01:04 AM. Reason: listing detailed types of LED |
