Please email us to create a support ticket if you believe there is a defect in the fixture. I have not heard of having variable outputs on different clusters but since it is a new generation fixture I don't have as much experience with it.

OK. It looks like the outside 4 T5s were bouncing off the glass and creating hotspots. When I used the inside 4 T5s instead, the PAR readings were 'normal'. Lower on the bottom and higher on the top. I gotta say, this ATI light puts out a LOT of light. Way more than the TEK Elite fixture did.
So, good to know the LEDs on the ATi are solid. Cheers

Hi ATI.
Would it be an issue if I mounted my control unit flush rather than on the raised bracket? I have a very slim space to mount controllers etc. Is it raised to dry to reduce the chance of water dripping down a surface on to it or is it to do with heat ventilation? Thanks!

I finally have my 24” Powermodule WiFi set up and Im really digging it. I decided on 2 Blue Plus, 1 Coral Plus, and 1 Purple Plus and the LED’s are on Best Power @ 60%. The look of the tank (color and shimmer) is almost spot on to how my tanks used to look under radium halides. So I couldn’t be happier. Now I just need to find some patience as the tank is only on week 4 if it’s cycle...

I have an old 8 x T5 Hybrid with three LED clusters and the LEDs are flickering like crazy. I understand this is a design flaw and there is no warranty but is there any way to turn the LEDS of completely and just run the T5 bulbs?
I will take it apart and cut wires if somebody can instruct me. Thanks |

To disable them, I would recommend either removing the LED Cluster, or the KSQ. You can find videos on both of these items on our ATI North America YouTube channel.

looking at a 60 inch 8 bulb for our 72 inch tank... how do you guys like these? seems like I cant make up my mind on which direction to go for new lighting. Im coming from three radion gen twos. So far I have looked into radion gen 4 pros, keep the gen twos and buy that aquatic life t5 hybrid that you can mount your radions into oooor the 60 inch ATI powermodule hybrid

Output is very similar to my previous Hydra HD with t5 supplements setup but this is in one sleek fixture. My last setup was a rats nest of wires which I’m happy to be rid of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've been running my 6x54w fixture for a while now, while it looks great it is a bit too much for several of my corals (trachyphilia, one species of zoanthid, montipora and stylophora are clearly not liking it and show bleaching). I've started pretty conservative running the LED's at only 35% and only 5 hours max T5, but I've been forced to dim the T5 to 60% before completing break-in because it was just too much. Raising the fixture more might help but it's already at max height.
Are there more people experiencing this? Would love to see other lighting programs. |

I suggest you try some layers of window screen or some other "cover" if you are unable to raise the light higher. Another option is to simply remove the light from your tank for 48 hours while burning in the bulbs (run them 48hrs straight) then return the light to your tank. Your corals would likely rather go 2 days without light (which is like a storm in nature stirring up sand) vs getting cooked.

Question, local reefer selling a 60" hybrid from 2015, guessing first model. Are there issyes with these units I should look for before buying or do they hold up pretty well? Price is really good, so I'm almost ready yo pull the trigger but want to make sure i do my homework.

Coming from the world of non dimmable fixtures I didn’t realize you had to burn the lamps in prior to dimming. Have I trashed my brand new bulbs if they were programmed to dim on and off from new? Or should I just look to replace them at 6ish months instead of 12-18? Thanks Keith Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is there any issues with using a new bulb for say 100 hours, taking it off the fixture and storing it until you're ready to use again? Does this mess up the bulbs life span or spectrum?

What schedule were you running when they were brand new? This plays a major role in how much damage was done. For example: Ramping from 20-50% then back down again vs Ramping for 1 hour up to 100%, then back down again. The longer the period of time at a low intensity when its new the more damage. If you just ramped them up to 100% but they stayed at 100% for a good part of the day I would just use them until they burn out early, or in the 6-9 month timeline like you mentioned. If you ran them at 50% (as in my example) I would probably replace them within a few months from now, but they will likely quit working well before 9 months.

Thank you for the information Keith. They have been set on a 1hr ramp from 30-100% then 5hrs at 100% followed by a ramp down to 30%. I’ll look to replace them at the good old Black Friday sale this year. Always learn something new in this hobby no matter how long you’ve been at it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well this is about as good of a scenario as you could have when doing it wrong. While I would certainly replace them early it is not anything like someone only running them at 50%.

No issues doing that at all. If you have a dimmable fixture its a great idea to burn in all of your bulbs ahead of time, then you can swap in 1 bulb every other month or something similar so it is more consistent light all year round.
