Can someone give me an idea of the weight of a 4 bulb 48" unit? I see where these units are described as "heavy" but I have not been able to find a weight listed on any website.

Can the T5 ramp up-down be over a 2 hour period?

I'm curious how high people are running their LEDs at peak? I am slowly increasing my % and would like to know when I should consider stopping. My tank is mainly SPS. Thanks.

Sahin, I am not sure I follow this. The fixture has separate adjustments for each color and then a global adjustment. What is your global % with blue and white at 35%? Thx

255 for Royal Blue (hence Royal Blue is at max ie 100%), and for Blue and White channel = 90 (ie (90/255)*100=35%). Hope that makes sense. I tested the number of watts per channel and RB/B/W are all roughly equal. |

Hi group! I have been using LED's since i started the hobby but I am now a proud owner of a 24" 4 bulb ATI Led powermodule this light will be going over my 22.5"X20"X19" Elos midi. I bought 2 ATI Blue+, 2 ATI Coral+, and 1 ATI Actinic bulb to play around with.
After trying (Front) Blue+ Coral+ --LED-- Blue+ Coral+ (Rear), I realized this combo was too white for my taste, even with the Royal Blue and Blue on at 100%. Would this combo turn more or less blue once the bulbs have burned in for 50 hours..? What I tried next was (Front) Blue+ Actinic --LED-- Coral+ Blue+ (Rear) and was satisfied with this color. From what I read, actinics typically aren't recommended in a 4 bulb setup due to loss of par, but I don't believe this will be an issue in my LPS dominated setup. I have nems placed high in the tank, and the rest of my LPS are midway and on the lower portion of my tank. Id prefer a "longer" light schedule starting around 10AM and ending around 12AM. I'd like to run only LEDs for a couple hours to start the day , then T5+LEDs midday, then just LEDs at night. Can someone please recommend a safe amount of intensity and hours for the T5's to be on midday and also how long of a ramp up and ramp down? Also, during the "break-in" period, do you guys run the bulbs on 100% for 50 hours straight? shoutout to Sahin for all the contributions he's made in this thread! Here's my FTS with LEDs from earlier this year. Thanks! Last edited by ryanwongg; 04/28/2015 at 03:50 PM. |

The (Front) Blue+ Coral+ --LED-- Blue+ Coral+ (Rear) is actually a very good all round combo. Quote:
In terms of PAR the actinic tube may have low PAR, but it in terms of PUR; it probably is 100% and no other bulb will come close to producing close to 100% PUR. In terms of a light profile, send me a PM with your email address. I will make a light profile for you. Let me know briefly what light period and times you would like. Quote:

Here's my 300 FTS I took yesterday. I'm running 60" ATI Led Powermodules 8x80 4x75. Loving it, growing Acro on the bottom. More then happy with this unit.

Is there any negative consequence to dimming a T5 bulb over a period of time?

Anyone switched out radium metal halide/t5 fixtures for example Giesemanns, for the Powermodule Hybrid? how does it compare in sps growth and color ?
I placed the order for the powermodule hybrid today and will be joining the club soon. it was either the PM hybrid or the gieseman spectra. |

Link to the thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2497232 That is probably the best example. There are many others but the above comes to my mind. |
