Wesley, unfortunately you cant. The Iphones do not have any white balance adjustments so all photos will always come out blue.

You can try opening the camera software with the camera already pointing at the tank...maybe that will force the camera to adjust.

Or place an orange/yellow filter in front of the camera lens; that will remove much of the blue.

Could anybody give a suggestion on bulb selection for a 4 bulb 36" fixture? Tank is going to be predominantly SPS and some softies. Going for a 16-18k look.

Also, is the program software Mac compatible yet. My fixture will be here on Wednesday!

2x ATI Blue+ and 2x ATI Coral+ With two Clusters you will have plenty of adjustment ability, so you can adjust the LED channels to your liking.

With regards to MAC, I dont know of any compatible software at the moment.

Thanks Sahin. I was able to find a great deal on a 36" 4 bulb fixture with included bulbs (3 blue+ and 1 coral+). I'm hoping it will cover my 48x24x16 shallow reef. I'm making the switch from a Radion Pro and am hopeful to see better sps/lps color all around.

As promised, some 'cellphone' pics.

















Leds run at 30%.
T5 run at 100%.

Greating,
Peter

Hi guys,

Im a new member and have just bought the 48" 3led 4t5 power module. I have read the thread and spent time following Sahin's instructional video. Since im coming from a full led light set, i want to set the leds to about 40% and the t5s to 100% to burn them in before dimming. Have done the programming quite easily but i cannot save the program to the lamp as i encounter "error while writing device" message at 78% of the way while saving it.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you solve this issue?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I believe someone else had the same issue a while back earlier on in the thread. It could be two things:

1. The Controller doesnt know how many LED clusters you have, or;

-Search this thread for the the Secret Menu option (it was member rtparty (Ryan) who posted it and ensure the controller has the same LED cluster numbers as your fixture (ie 3).

2. USB/Windows issue.

- Uninstall the ATI software, restart Windows completely and then install the latest version of the software from ATI America website. Try upload a program again.

Thanks for letting us know. Did you have to pay for the replacement controller or did ATI offer one for free?

I've had my new light operating for about a month and a half now. It's a 48" 4 X t5, 3x LED clusters. Now, I seem to be having a problem with one of my clusters. The "Red" LED's in one cluster, are flickering, as the lamps ramps down from Coral plus, to Royal blues, for the evening. Anyone else have a similar problem? Would this be a cluster module problem, or a controller issue?

Thanks Sahin and CoopsReef. I have found Ryan's post which was exactly what CoopsReef posted. I will try the instructions out later when I get home from work.

please find attached manual from ATI (Germany) - it states 24 months warranty

http://www.atiaquaristik.com/en/webd...EN%2002-13.pdf

notice that ATI north america only offer 12 months limited warranty according to their site.

I had no questions asked just swapped out for replacement by ATI Australia distributer.

I'm thinking of switching my bulb combo, can anyone give me some feedback. Here is what I'm thinking:

2 coral+
1 purple+
1 actinic
4 blue+

I'm trying g to emulate the look of a 250w 20k radium on a magnetic ballast, which is a lot whiter than most people think.

I tried 2 c+, 1 p+, 5 b+, but it was still too blue. I then swapped a b+ for a second p+, but now I have these like purple/pink overtones.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
