ATI vs Pacific sun

I'm thinking to change from led to t5 fixture, but still can't decide which I should choose. Which 1 is better?

I was trying to decide between ati hybrid and pacific sun and I ended up going with the ati. I went with ati because I have heard their customer service is unmatched, they are tried and true, and just more popular in the United States. I think either fixture is a great fixture though...

I'm not in the us so the customer service is not that important to me. It's always very frustrating what kind of lighting to choose.

Friend of mine who has been in the business for years traded his hybrid ATI light that was practically a few months old, for an even older hybrid PS. I thought he was crazy until I saw the difference. I thought he said the led banks made all the difference.

The Diuna T5 from Pac Sun is a very nice fixture. Good software. Ballasts will be of same quality although the Diuna does come with Phillips Advanced which are 2% more efficient than the HEP in ATI.

You really can't go wrong with either but if pricing is exactly the same I would go for the Diuna for the slicker software.

Both fixtures are great ;-)
But as I can advice as aquarists - Diuna T5 have built-in very wide and usefull LED moonlight(with full moonphases) and have native Mac OS X/Windows app(wireless). It can be critical if you are using Apple computer or would like to have very nice moonlight(without any additional purchases) ;-)
About Customer Service - I know that is most important point for our company and we never left Customers without help(quick response/support). We are active RC sponsor here and I think that you should be able to find many reviews regarding our Customer service(after sale support).
There is no better review than real Customer review
