The ATI has about the same look just not as much PAR as the UVL. Lack of PAR isn't an issue in your case.
I don't think people are bashing them as much pointing out they shouldn't be considered in the same class as the Teks and such until current decides to use the right material in the reflectors at least. It's amazing how people think they can spend 150 bux for an E-bay fixture and have it perform like a 400 dollar fixture. Nothing wrong with the Novas for a tank that is less than 18" tall, over 18 inches and you got to be careful what you put lower down in the tank.
