It's virtually impossible to get a good comparison there, you're comparing over 1100 watts to less than 500 on a much larger tank.

That 10' tank needs at least 2 more units (more to be comparable to Dave' tank) with all units moved lower and mounted the other way. I think I've mentioned this a few times

That said the ATI is nice but I still think the functionality that comes will LEDs is lost with the addition of T5s.

its not just in comparison to the 10ft at the store ,i also have said from the beginning that we needed more ghl's on the 10ft tank the idea is to try to get away with as little as possible as they are not cheap, but we will add mnore if the need really arrises. most of the people who we have sold ghl's too through the store have said the same about the ghl's....the light seems dim when they compare it to the ati's

now dont get me wrong i love the ghl's , alot more than the radion pros lol but so far im impressed with the hybrid we will see how it performs in the next few months

im sure though everyones opinion will vary as far as what the bonuses are or arnt or whether or not its worth it in comparison to other fixtures.



both are great fixtures no doubt about it
