Thanks. I've been really struggling with whether or not to continue in the hobby because so much else is going on in my life. Fortunately, my system is large enough it remains very stable with little input.
As to the Pac Sun vs. ATI. I do not have scientific evidence, but it is my opinion as a hobbyist that there was simply something not good about the LED setup in the Pac Sun fixtures. They tended toward a "disco ball" effect, and I really felt that my corals didn't like them no matter how high I hung the fixture. With the ATI I now run the LEDs at 100% but only for a few hours per day and my corals never looked better so I can't say enough good things about the ATI hybrid. I think it is simply the best lighting option available today even with the issues of occasional ballast failures.

This would be best to troubleshoot via a support ticket, please shoot us an email at customercare@ our domain (the North America domain).
We DO still have all the parts available for all versions of Powermodules.
Regarding reliability. I actually deal with very few issues with the LED Powermodule, however perhaps people do not know we are available to help?
Also the fixtures are very repairable. Parts are available and we are here to help troubleshoot.

Keith - I will certainly be in contact to set up a support ticket. As much as I am frustrated by the failures I experienced I can not say enough good things about the support I received with my first issue and I expect this time around will be no different.
