ATI power module 10×54w

Yanir34 · May 15, 2023

Hello , right now I'm running ATI lower module hybrid 8×54w T5 + 3×75w LED's

I'm taking "step back" to ATI T5 bulbs only , 10×54w.

My tank is 10 months old , sps dominant.

What is your preferred bulbs combination ?

I though of this combo :

Blue plus
coral plus
ATI actinic
coral plus
giessman tropic 6500k
Blue plus
coral plus
ATI actinic
Blue plus
Blue plus

Everyone is going to have a different look that they like. I personally like a heavy Blue plus tank.
Coral plus is a nice all around bulb to help balance, but too many can cause your tank to look white. Defiantly skip the 6500, consider a purple plus instead.

2x coral plus
6x blue plus
2x actinic/purple plus

10 t5's and 2 orphek OR3
4x Blue+
4x AquaBlue Special
2x Purple+

As close as I could get to Krzystof Tryc old light scheme, with ATI vs. KZ bulbs.

What size is your system?
and what type of bulbs , 54 or 80 w ?
I think that she's setup will be overkill for my system....I have only 500 liters DT .

Yes two different 8 bulb fixtures.

It’s 72”x47”x 25” tall , I run the 48” fixtures the width of the tank, each fixture lighting a 47” x 36” section.
