ATI t5 tanks

[painkiller1009]

I hear all the positive comments on these fixtures, but haven't seen to many people post any pics of them.

Lets see some tanks lite with the sunpower or powermodule.

Check out this thread. He doses Zeovit but the tank is lit by an ATI T5. I'm looking to place an order for one in the next week.

WOW....nice
What fixture are you going with and what size tank? Bulb selection?

Any more out there?

I have the 48" 8x54w powermodule. Here are a few pics. .http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk206/flying53brian/DSC03644.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk206/flying53brian/DSC03643.jpg

I going to order an ATI Powermodule 6 x 54w as its the largest one that I can fit on my 90gal Oceanic Tech tank due to the Euro Bracing with one of two configurations:

Suggested by Grim Reefer

Ati Blue Plus
UVL 75/25
GE 6500K Daylight
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue

or

ATI Blue plus
ATI Blue plus
UVL 10000K AquaSun
UVL 75/25 14000K
ATI Blue Plus
ATI True Actinic

I'm leaning toward the second one as this combo is a bit on the bluer side.

[harleyreefer]

I am looking at these also, but since my tank is 84 inces long, i would have to order 2x36 x 10 bulbs. at over a grand each, thats 2000 bucks to light my tank. I wish they mDE A 72 inch model :-)

[cdmurphy]

Flying53brian, your tank looks great. What bulb selection are you running?

[painkiller1009]

Very impressed Flying53brian. Nice selection of fish to.

[bryan ayo]

thing look awesome!

[flying53brian]

Thanks all for the compliment,

My bulb config is front to back:

ATI Blue Plus
UV Aquasun
UV Super Actinic
SlimPaq 10000 Daylight
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Pro-Color
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue plus

LETS SEE MORE ATI T5 LIGHTED TANKS!

[cdmurphy]

I placed my order today for an ATI Powermodule from Reefgeek and should have it in the next week. The bulb selection I ended up going with was:

3 -- ATI Blue plus
1 -- ATI True Actinic
1 -- UVL 10000K AquaSun
1 -- Fiji Purple

I guess I'll see what it looks like when I receive it. I'll post pics.

Cdpower

Thanks for posting the bulb combinations. This way I don’t need to read through the entire T5 thread.

I'm planning to buy a six bulb fixture for my 90 gal Oceanic Tech. Is there a performance difference between the Powermodule and the Sunpower?

Thanks

[cdmurphy]

The SunPower is a more economical version of the Powermodule. Just like the Powermodule it features parabolic Miro-Silver reflectors and an active cooling system, but it comes in a more economical bent aluminum housing versus the curved, heavy-duty housing on the Powermodule and it has fewer fans. Performance wise it is suppose to be almost, but not quite as good as the Powermodule.

[James77]

I think they are roughly the same, the Powermodule is just a little bit more "fancy"- GrimReefer has tested the Sunpower and he could comment better on that. If the dimensions are similar to the ATI, that will give you as much coverage as you can get on the Tech 90.

[Nerdy Nudi]

anyone ever see any of these used? if so, what is usually the going rate?

[Nerdy Nudi]

oh, I know reefgeek carries the powermodule, but who has the sunpower?

[James77]

Reefgeek carries them as well, they are not listed on his website yet.

[flyingphish]

i have the 8 bulb ati over a 55g. i love my powermodule. a lot.

[Pheeshes]

Do these fixtures have to be hung or can you get some kind of mounting leg package. the ceiling over my tank is sloped and the tank sits at an angle so it would be very very hard to hand something.

[KRASHPD]

I have the 10 X 54w Powermodule. Here is a recent pic:

[harleyreefer]

KRASHPD, Thats a nice looing tank. The way you set up your lights is pretty sharp. I am about to get 2x36"x10 bulbs for my 200 gallon (84"long). I was trying to figgure out how i wanted to hang them, and I think I might do something similar to yours after seeing it... Thanks for the pics!!!

[XBlade]

So would i be correct in saying that these fixtures don't come with ballasts? If so what kind did you ATI-ers end up going with?

The fixtures come complete except for bulbs.

[painkiller1009]

Couple of real nice looking tanks.
Lets keep em comin.

[XBlade]

Do the ATI's have separate switches for different sets of bulbs in the fixture or are they all on one switch?

[harleyreefer]

I know the 10 bulb, 36 inch model has 2 cords and 3 switches. One handles 2 bulbs, and the other handles the other 8. I cant say about the others. You can look at them at TeefGeek though...

They dont have switches but they do have separate cords.

[nesto719]

are the sunpower model still over driving the bulbs ?

[Lowredranger]

I have been considering ordering the 10x80w powermodule more my 280g, it's just a large chunk $ so my tank may be lightless for awhile.

[cdmurphy]

Anyone else running an ATI Powermodule over their tank?

[jdiddy8384]

Ok im gonna try to do a little poll here. Just to see what you fellow reefers think. Should i get a Powermodule 6x54w or the sunpower 6x54w for my 90g.:D

[Danix]

Hi

The Sunpower has the same technic in it like the powermodul.
So take what you like more.
I have the 4x24W Powermodul on my "Nanoreef".
But if you can wait, i would wait for this one here:
Fauna Marin Stare fire (http://shop.faunamarin.de/product_info.php?info=p134_Star-fire-extreme-T5.html)

Just my 2 cents

Regards Daniel

[recife111]

no need to wait, other units are out like the sfilgoi stealth has been out a long and is a great unit.

[harleyreefer]

i like the looks of that one. i think i saw that somewhere. was pretty expensive if i remember. where is is for sale?
I need to light a 84 in tank, so I am looking around. I would have to buy 2 36" ati to cover my tank. I think that worked out to $2300 or so for both (with bulbs)

[harleyreefer]

I am thinking that the 72" constilation might be the way I have to go, but I really do like the ATI. Constilation would have 14 bulbs, compaired to 20 for 2x36"x10 bulb ATI
