Currently my system is stable and wanted to switch over with a powerful unit though I do have concerns. Thinking the PM would be ideal since I'm already running LED it shouldn't be a bad of a swap. But i'm thinking about going all in on running just T5 since i could care less about skimmer and pop at this point. Mind you i've own just about ever led fixture on the market... seriously lol. So that is really why i'm asking that question if anyone went back to all t5 from the ati Pm.
Thanks in advanced guys for your suggestions.
I do like T5's, and was looking at the E5 lamps, it seems they are coming out with a brighter version, the E5X which is an LED T5 bulb. Good thing is you can pop let's say two blue ones in for dusk/dawn and have the led pop on a straihht sunpower T5 fixture.

Maybe some here can add more to this if they have more info.
