Sweet, What difference do you notice between the Coral+ and AB+? I've also been debating adding a Purple Plus to my 8 bulb unit.

Nice, hope you will give us a detailed review with lots of photos in the days to come

I am really curious on how this lamp is, I have high expectations for this one.

Funny mine and rods don't have the clip for the sag and when we asked ati they said they did not fix the issue as it was intentionally left for cooling

I just love this tank. Whenever I need a little inspiration, I just go through this build again. The coralscape is just stunning and shows the corals off really nicely. I'm tempted to bit the bullet and rescape my tank!

Thanks so much for sharing. :inlove:

Nice lights! Let me know if you need help hanging them. Off tomorrow and Friday.

Now all you need is the Vertex skimmer neck cleaner! And the profilux 3.1! Hahaha

I didn't think the 80w T5s were dimmable on these? I have the 24" fixture and love it!

Great light can't wait to see pictures of it over your tank.

Been a while since I've checked in... as expected everything looks GREAT!

Looking forward to the new light!

A new follower. Nice job. I like everything about your tank. You showed corals can thrive under LED lights. But I like how pristine your tank looks. Approx. how much time a day, or every other day is spent maintaining the tank.

looks awesome!!! taggin along to see how this light looks.

Thank you and welcome

nice congrats cant wait to see it on.

will the current lifting system support this with extra weight too ?

Thank you Sir... Yes it will support the electric lifting unit but I didn't install it in this setup. I still have it in storage and will use it again in the future. The current ATI PM is simply installed into the ceiling using the hanging kit supplied so I have been manually raising/lowering the unit. The Hybrid will be installed the same way. The existing cables will be used.

Thanks noob... I switched it on yesterday and WOW!! I'll provide plenty of pics and my thoughts.

Hi FlyPen, I have never used the Coral Plus as it is a new bulb. This is what is said about the bulb...

"This lamp is a basic lamp with a more bluish part at a maximum PAR output. The higher blue part helps for a better colour rendering of the corals with fluorescent pigments. Furthermore, this tends to a higher photosynthetically usable radiation (PUR).
In spite of the high blue part, also red parts will be getting an excellent presentation.
The Coral plus is the latest development which is placed between the Aquablue special and the Blue plus."

So I plan on experimenting and swapping bulbs around. ATI now offer x3 Stand alone bulbs and x3 supplemental bulbs.

Yes... of course Roger. Guys that currently have it, LOVE it!!

Funny mine and rods don't have the clip for the sag and when we asked ati they said they did not fix the issue as it was intentionally left for cooling

Oh really? Strange... They said for cooling? I thought the fans and holes at the end of the unit allowed for that?

Thank you very much Kathy.

Thanks boss... will do. Not sure about the other extras... lol

Hi Flamron, yes the 230V 8x80W are dimmable. Unfortunately the 110V are not. Glad to hear you love it.

Great light can't wait to see pictures of it over your tank.

Thank you foxrazr

Hey Chad!! I hope all is well. Thanks for the comments and stopping by!

Thanks Marty and welcome. I usually spend no more than 2hrs a week on the tank and that includes the water change. I generally clean the glass every 2-3 days which certainly helps keep the tank look clean.

 

[flamron]

Ah. I didn't see that you had the 230v model. I've not read the specs other than the 120v versions. That makes that size fixture even more appealing! I love the colors I'm getting with the T5s dimming along with the LEDs.

 

[Bud721]

Simply amazing! Looking forward to seeing the progress with the new lighting.

Cant't wait to see the new light over the tank :thumbsup:
