Done. I've left your T5's at 100% as you have a 4 tube unit, but kept your LED's at max 75%.

You are already using T5 and Reefbrites, so I think it will be ok for most of the corals.

But if you notice ANY coral lighten up, adjust the intensity of the LED's down. You can also decrease the total photo period.

dbsalinas89 · 04/08/2014, 03:02 PM

My current lighting is reefbrite on at 11 am, t5 at noon till midnight then reef brite off at 1 am

dbsalinas89 · 04/08/2014, 03:06 PM

Out of curiosity does this have a moonlight going? Kinda interested / excited to have some moonlight

The profile I created is from 1100 to 2200. You cant go beyond 2359 anyway since the software doesnt allow that for the main photoperiod. But you can simply adjust the profile to suit your needs. But remember it is a whole lot more light than your current fixture proves.

If you want to run your light cycle beyond 2359 then read the post I made in the previous page.

Ok thanks!

Sorry didnt create it. Just raise the plots/dots upto 5% etc.

The reason for posting this here is to let others know as well, that you cant program beyond 23.59; beyond that is only for moonlight.

You can of course easily deal with this by adjusting the time on your controller so the time the program is set to commence, corresponds with 5pm. Ie on the light profile I setup the program to switch on at 12pm, so the time on the controller clock should be set 5 hours in advance of real time. Hope I got that right...

Thanks Sahin,
I got your PM too.
Can't wait to try out the light profile.

As others have already mentioned,
your work and help is awesome, ubiquitous and much sppreciated!

ws6kid · 04/11/2014, 09:19 AM

All of the info in this thread is awesome! Unfortunately it has led me to order a 36" 8 Bulb fixture

Can't wait to get it!

Thats awesome. Be sure to post some pics when you have it hung over the tank.

EDIT: Just be careful if this is going over an existing tank with coral, as the PAR from these units is crazy high.

I love my light I have the 60" 4 bulb. I'm moving though and have to sell the tank. Very sad so the light has to go. $1500 4 mths old

Hi guys I'm a soon to be Club member and was wondering if someone can help me with a quick question.
I'm a mac user but know the program can't be run on a iPad so I wanted to ether pick up a tablet or laptop to run the ATI program.
My question is can the program be run on Android or must it be windows?

Thanks
MikeC

msderganc · 04/13/2014, 08:15 AM

Quick question about the light:

On ATI's site, it says that the 80w T5 versions cannot be dimmed - is this correct? I can't seem to find anything else to support that.

This is correct: for USA. In UK/Europe we have dimmable 80w ballasts that run fine on 230v and 50Hz frequency. There are no reliable Dimmable 80w ballasts for the US market unfortunately to run on 110v and 60Hz.

Hi sahin
My lamp is coming this week and i,ve setup the par table.
Now i run with a pacific sun metis xm 3x150 led and another 4x54watt t5.
Now the pacific runs on 85% a the highest
For 5 hours.

What is the best to start with,
And whats the best for de t5 bulbs.
I buy the 8x54 3x75

Hey Sahin.

Thanks for your generous help in setting up a light profile with me. It looks awesome!

Since you had a T5/LED combo already, I feel that your corals will be better off than other tanks. In terms of PAR, your ATI unit will be similar, but with more light punched down towards the bottom and certainly a far greater coverage/area of high PAR. Ie FAR less shadows etc, these areas will be filled with light.

Start off with JUST the T5's to burn them in for a week anyway. Let the T5's run around 6-7 hours for 7 days. Then work the LED's in slowly until you are happy with the overall look.

I run my LED's and T5's at 100% for around 3.5 hours I think. And both are ramping up or down either side of that; I think I am running a 10 hour light cycle. Obviously if I didnt have dimmable LED's and T5's I wouldnt run such a long light cycle.

As for the T5 combo: FOR SPS Dominated

Front: This is a nice combo which I know works.

Remember you have the LED clusters/channel to further adjust the appearance of the overall look.

For an LPS/Zoa dominated tank:

And then use as much Royal Blue as your corals can deal with, add a good measure of Blue and a bit of White light from the LED's. That will have the LPS/Zoas popping!

Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback.

Just keep an eye on the corals and reduce intensity if any start to pale out etc.

msderganc · 04/13/2014, 09:19 PM

Thanks Sahin.

On an unrelated note - which Powermodule Hybrid would you recommend for this tank (http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=283)? It's 36x18x18.

Thanks again!

For the tank size quoted (36x18x18) it would have to be a 36" LED PM with 4 tubes. An 8 tube will be too big...ie overhang/2xtubes would be lighting the floor.

The 4 tubes and 2 LED clusters will be plenty of coverage for that tank.

Hope that helps.

I like the setup van v1 rotate with his reef in the sky.
The colours are very bright and i live alot off blue.
My tank is een sps dominated with also lps.

Here some pictures.

I have now for 4 weeks the t5 with led and the corals are growing better,
And look healther.
I can,t wait to see wath the ati goes to do with.

You are already using a T5 combo which will yield very good growth and colour.

On the LED setting using the using ABS utilises the white channel to maximum, but doesnt utilise the ROYAL BLUE channel at max. I would therefore make a custom preset and use the ROYAL BLUE channel at max, the BLUE Channel at 50% and the WHITE channel at around 75%. Be careful to acclimatise the corals if required.

Will you see a massive change in growth? I doubt it, but it will mean your lights are providing the most PAR from your fixture without going overboard.

Just keep the Alk, Ca and Mg stable and close to NSW values. Feed the tank/fishes lots and carry out regular water changes.

slap · 04/15/2014, 04:50 AM

many thanks for the answer

should I T5 and LED 100% or less?
my stone building is very low and my tank is 60cm high

and, sorry for my bad english
