Lol PFO Solaris sucked booty. For $4000 dollars? Sales rep: "the dim LED lights are actually 300% brighter than they looks!" Then it burns out in 6 months.

I had the Ecotech Radions Gen 2, 4 of them. Challenged with getting the corals to flourish. My Lfs recommended I go to T5's, so I picked up an ATI, 8 bulb with LED. Corals took off.

Very nice set up !

I was considering the ATI unit also, but decided to go with the Pacific Sun Fixture. Glad to see yours is working out...

I'd love to get the new ATI Powermodule with LEDS but my budget just won't allow it so I'll stick with my standard Powermodule for now.

Add a ReefBrite to it. That's what I did. I don't get shimmer but the colors get the "pop" from the LEDs.

I used bailing wiring that I rapped around the screw on the power module. Super ghetto but works perfectly! Did it to Botha sides

You can also add little pulley's to each side. I purchased mine at the local Hydroponics store. Makes lifting the light for cleaning a cinch. Cost about $12 for a pair.
