Mine are the original Stratons. As far as I know we can’t get the Straton Pro in the States

That is the home site for ATI.DE. ATI HQ has been very odd at releasing firmware in a proper, concise place for much of the fixtures life, but they are getting better. The NA site still lists some old firmware, they don't seem to be in the loop on much coming out of HQ in regards to the Straton tbh.

Thanks for sharing this! I was looking at the NA site.

Looking forward to installing the latest firmware!

I've been running these 3 ATI straton over my 300G SPS for a year or so now. I'm still struggling to determine if the coral are happy or not. Some are full colors, others are quite pale. I try to keep nutrients up and all trace via ICP.
Currently I measure about 200-250 PAR in most coral zones, and 300-400 near the top of some mature colonies. I used to have ATI T5 fixture, which gave double the PAR, but I'm told LED is not a 1:1 conversion, but I thought the straton with diffused is different. Can anyone elaborate????

I run 3 ati straton my of my 300G DD, similar dimensions (wider for me), but I added 6 LED bars from reefbreeders, 2 blue, 4 uv, mostly for night viewing and supplment.

Zachtos, if I remember correctly, you had some bleaching when you first added the Stratons, didn't you?
If the pic you attached is current, it almost still looks like the corals are adjusting. Stratons are great, but I don't think we will ever replicate T5 or metal halide with LED. It just isn't going to happen.

If so, then I can't recommend LED over T5. I have not been happy with results by far.

Hi Zachtos,
I agree with you on T5. Sorry to hear that you haven't had good results. You have a beautiful system.

@zachtosdo you have a picture right before you switched to the Stratons and a pic that is current? Would love to see. Thanks.

Not a fair comparison for photos, as a bunch of corals died after changing to the Stratton. Some corals thrive, others just get pale and die.

I'm waiting to see what the new straton pro can do,as the original,were disappointed my German friends that the beginning jump on the hipe,now all sold them and coral farmers in France not use them because. They say the spectrum is not good enough.I think there is a reason why ati stop this mode so quickly.
Odd since the published spectrums are not that much different between the 2.
The diffuser vs reflectors is a much bigger change.
Crude composite but very close. Standard is the "normal" colored curve vs the reverse for the PRO.
Curves normalized to each other.

From the graph Oreo just posted, there isn't much of a change. I have an ATI Straton and I researched the Pro version.
The Pro looks to have the same LED layout, and as Oreo said, it uses reflectors instead of a diffuser. Reflectors are the way to go for LED.

Can you help me understand why reflectors are better for LEDs?
