I'm just a little taken back in this day and age you can't just update everything with an internet connection and a usb connection between your laptop and the light fixture. Here's the link:

Yeah no kidding. People always seem to talk up German Engineering......maybe they mean Mechanical engineering. The electrical/software aspects of this fixture are pretty lacking. No controller integration, no easy way to update the firmware on the fixture, the clock resets during power outages. Aside from that the clear cover warps and mine doesn't have a clip to secure it.

Holy crap you gotta do all that just to update a firmware!!?? what happened to download it to your laptop and link usb and send to lamp??? whats wrong with that route!!?

Geeze ATI you really gotta step it up a notch here.

i think that maybe need a battery for clock memory...but i don't understand how save ever the programs and the settings and loose only clock time..maybe Oliver or ATI can explain..i'm thinking to put an UPS ..but are over 600W and need a big one (i have one for pumps and it's very big i can't have another one big only for fixture!!)
But.. i don't think is a dangerous problem for corals and tank.. if power fail it reset to 8 AM..and cycle begin one more time..if happen 1or 2 time a month are absolutely not a problem for livestock..if happen every day maybe..but is better to check your power plant

Quick question, and my apologies if this is buried in the thread:

When I create a lighting schedule in the ATI program, all the new ones I create are being saved with a little lock icon on them and I can't upload them to the lamp. What am I doing wrong?

hey guys - been out of the loop for a while but finally it's time to move my tank and upgrade. I thought reefgeek had an ATI fixture with LED's and T5's but now I don't see it. I have a mixed tank, mostly LPS and softies but want to bring in more SPS up top. Nothing to delicate though. Going from a 75 gal to a 120. I was thinking 4 T5's and the LEDs should do it, agreed? What model has those specs and where the heck can I find one?

Are you saving these from the "file" menu? If you are doing it this way, you are saving them as "projects" until you load them onto your lamp by clicking the "lamp" tab and selecting "save in lamp." There will be a bar graph with the percentages showing as the program is being saved and loaded onto the lamp.

Aquarium Specialty has them.

Reefgeek has them all, just look under LED category, then Powermodule subcategory.

How do you know if your new light fixture has the update regarding loosing your program and the clock resetting?

I'm considering going back to T5's and I always loved ATI powerrmodules.

Gracias

Hi mark54321,

Notice you have the 39watt hybrid, does yours got that little clip to prevent plexiglass from sagging down.

Also anyone just got their powermodule hybrid just recently?? And still not fixed with that clock reset thing ?

Thanks

No , it doesn't, mine was one of the first models released, come without a clip.

I have never seen anyone posted about this. Is this doable?

Nevermind. Looks like it needs to be programmed manually.

However can anyone share a cloud sweep program? How long do you dim the light for each cluster?

But..sincerely..why you need clouds or lightning?? Is absolutely not what need corals..

 

[w3ish3ng]

May I know if the 8 tube version will be cover a width of 36 inches?

Some people do like gimmicks, I am one of them. :rollface:

Need=No
Want? Well let's just say no one "needs" all the things you can do with a cell phone except make a call but most want it to do everything.

I can just hear my guests now when their over to view the tank.
How come the lights are diming? Are they broken? How come?why?
Why is it dooing that? Are they supposed to do that? Lol:lolspin:

 

[ZON]

The only right use of dimming light is for fishes..someone can swim out if light is too aggressive in few seconds..

 

[ZON]

Also i use dimm ( only leds) for my pleasure but hate multicolor fixtures or special effects only for playing with friends
