Nice job on the ATO Chris! I use a MJ 1100 utility pump as the return pump from my sump - they're a nice dependable pump.
Thanks, I may try to get it in the cabinet tomorrow. If not it may be sometime next week.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I need this rack!!! :hammerhea
So I took the plunge, pulled the trigger and purchased a new fixture. I went with the AquaticLife T5 HO and wow! I should have done it sooner. What a difference true T5 lighting makes over PC bulbs. The built-in timer, the ability to change bulbs to my color preference, and the single power cord all sold me on it. I know now why corals in the store look so much brighter which commands a higher price tag. My tank looks like it is worth $1000 more now.
In my opinion the LEDs are quite bright and even brighter than my stock RSM hood. These put out an incredible amount of light and now I have shimmer!
I do see a bulb change in the future as the combo of the 10K bulbs mixed with the 420/460 seem a bit white/yellow for my taste. I actually prefer a more bluish look and just having the 420/460 bulbs on is astonishing.
I recommend anyone wanting a good cheaper alternative to MH lighting to look at these fixtures.
