ATI Powermodule Hybrid Club

Maybe I should ask all my questions all at once :rolleyes:

Cant seem to find how wide the 24" fixture is, and how much it weighs, and I presume the T5 ballasts are inside the fixture like all the others.
 
Fixture is about 23.75" wide and weighs about 15-20lbs.

All ballasts are in the controller box.
 
Got a question for you guys. I have a 30" cube with an 8 bulb ATI I am considering getting the new 24" 8 bulb with leds to add some shimmer and for the moonlight viewing. Maybe a dumb question but is the one strip of leds down the center of the fixture enough for a 30" deep tank to add that pop front to back throughout or would I be better off adding some leds on the front and back of the one I have? Thanks!
 
It'll fill the tank. I have mine sitting on the rim right now and I get some spotlighting, but it still lights the whole tank. Once I raise it up, it'll look better and the spotlight goes away.
 
Got my fixture today packed very well. Bulb that I bought :

4 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Aquablue Special
1 Korallen Zucht New Generation
1 ATI Purple Plus
1 ATI Coral Plus
1 ATI True Actinic

What combo you guys think can be the best to put on the fixture ?

What Bulb config would you recommed for a 4 bulb unit

At present im running B+ P+ LED C+ B+

LED's are running at B+AB

Looks ok but not sure if im utilising the light properly?

Also on a 18inch deep tank with the lights at 10Inch above the water line would u say T5's 100% and Leds at 60% to much?
 
A few quick photos with the new lights up :lol2:

I love the controllability of these lights!! :thumbsup:


The width of the lights are great plus the clip that hold the perspex up. No more sagging.


More info on my thread :reading:
 
I got my 8x80 hybrid yesterday. It is an in believable light. Having a little trouble understanding the programming, but getting better.. I cannot believe how bright this fixture is. I will post pics of it here later and in by 180 build thread..

Check out my thread. I think this build only deserves the best. The ATI is incredible.

Yes you are right about the software, before I got my 8x54 hybrid I used to have vertex illumina... To be honest vertex soft is way better than ATI. I've heard that dimmable sunpower has that option for bulbs changing, after you'll replace the bulbs for new ones and press "something" unit not gonna dimm the bulbs for 80 hours. (It's highly recommend to fun these at 100% for first 80 hours to increase bulb life and light quality) do our units has this option as well? Is this even true about the sunpower?

Hi Andrew

I think you're the lucky one, I don't have that clip. I checked with christygirl and he doesn't have it either. It looks unattractive when the lights are on. I got about 1½" sag.

I am sure that our light or the first product that was sent to the USA is an old batch. Beyond that I don't see any reason why we don't have that clip.

Hope that ATI can supply that clip to us so that we can install it.

Hi Mavgi, Hi all,

this clip for the 8-bulb version is brand new. But dont worry. We will find a way to supply you that clip so you can install it. It is not a big thing. We just need some time to spread that clip to our dealers.

Thanks for your patience.

best regards
Oliver

I've used a small metal binder clip for years on my Powermodule, it works perfectly. I clip it on then remove the arms. Replace as necessary when rust takes hold.

I second that. I wonder who to call? I can always make the clip, but I would like to get one so I can see how they are made.
 
Got mine today and after weeks of waiting not happy.

Build quality is as i expected but have a few issues.

It's an older unit so no clip and loses time when power is lost.
USB won't work unless i can get the driver.
On my middle LED channel none of the standard blue work.

I hope these problems will be resolved asap.
 
I got a question for you guys.. Anyone regret switching from T5s only to the hybrid powermodule?
I'm about to buy and don't know which way to go...
2x75w with 4x38w hybrid or the 10 bulb powermodule
Thanx
