ATI power module hybrid & SPS coloration

Yanir34 · Feb 28, 2023

Hello , 1.5 months ago I replaced my DIY MH/LED hybrid due to electric error . meantime, I purchased ATI power module hybrid 8×54w and 3×75w .
This fixture is real beast !
I took some weeks for the corals to get use to it, and now it seems to me that they are really like this fixture.
if anyone here also using this fixture I will be happy to read some info about the LED schedule, bulbs combination and other useful info .
My bulb combination is : 6 blue plus + 2 coral plus, 8 hours.
LED schedule: 40% of blue + UV + Violet , for 12 hours.
20 cm above water surface
Tank is 900 liters , 6 months old

wooow 80% of the LED? only the blue channel?
How much inches did you hang the light above the water surface ?
Can you upload here or send me private message with your schedule of the LED ?
It is very intriguing

You've got yourself a PAR beast. One of the best ever made.

It's probably the best light ever made for coral growth, yet it's almost unknown in the hobby by all but the most hardcore reefers. I noticed BRS never even made a video testing this beast, probably because it was too good and would have cost sales of the garbage they are trying to push.

Are you running your t5s at 255? I mean 100%

I have the 8x36watt with 2 led pucks on a 80G cube. This thing is a monster to say the least! I used to run just a 6x36watt, and the powermodule is heads and tails better.

I run 6 blue+, 2 true actinics, and run the LED's in a purple+ config with just a touch more white. T5's ramp up from 6:30 am to 10 am to 100%. my LED's ramp up the same times roughly, but only run at 75%. I start ramping down at 4pm to 8pm. My t5's I turn off 1 hour early and run all blues while the LED's ramp to off for the last hour( I just like the look, but for no other reason).

I would assume you know about light studio from ATI?

What is "light studio" from ATI ?

Allows you to program the light from a computer, then plug it in and upload to the powermodule. Much easier then trying to program it through the little LCD scrren and buttons on the unit.
