ATI Powermodule Hybrid Club

[msderganc]

Hi Sahin,

This is a little off topic, but I've decided to go a different direction for my propagation/grow out tank. It will be 48"x24"x24", and I was hoping to get a recommendation on which Sunpower fixture you'd use for SPS. The cost is just too high for the Powermodule.

I was thinking either the 48" 8x54w or 8x80w. Also, which bulbs would you recommend?

Thanks!

If your tank is 48x24x24 then definitely get the 48" 8x54w unit. You WILL get GREAT colours from that unit, I promise.

Bulb combo:

Nice all round combo:
4xBlue+, 2xCoral+, 1xPurple+ and 1x Actinic

Really pops colours and is a KNOWN combo for great colour:
5xBlue+, 2xPurple+ and 1xCoral+

Another very good combo, less red slightly whiter look:
5xBlue+, 1xPurple+ and 2xCoral+

Lets add some colour to this page. This ATI T5/LED Powermodule is an awesome light. Judge for yourself:

EDIT: I still have many brown SPS; this is due to my Alk dropping to 4.5dKH 3 times in the past few months! :headwally:

Please start a thread here. I would love to learn about your tank. I love the European SPS tanks (non UK) but due to language barrier I cannot join the forums and participate.

Great colors Sahin! Nice work :thumbsup:

It looks from the picture that your bulbs are in backwards , the labels on your bulbs should be on the power wire side of the fixture

Why does how the bulbs are placed make a difference in reference to the pic

The labels on the bulbs are supposed to be on the side of the fixture with the power wire.

Whow those colors... that is'nt only the lighting...

Some of your acro and monti colonies I recognies... but here they are still small... I love them to watch them to grow...

Is that a A. Achilles I spotted?

Hey Sahin, I know I asked this question in your build thread but maybe this is a better place to ask..
I'm curious to know if the LEDs in these fixture really play a role in colouring up the corals or if they are simply for aesthetics.
Any 8 bulb t5 fixture (in the right reefer's hands) has the potential to make any and all sps look like jewels.
Do you really think that the LEDs make the sps look better, or do they really just give the tank that mh look by creating brightness and shimmer?

 

[MSHUR]

Good question Matt...
I am new to LED but i think in this fixure LED play very small roll in coloring up SPS corals in particular more of a shimmer effect.. I might be wrong

Anyone knows the exact weight of 8x24 bulb fixture. I made a custom light rack done which attaches to my custom made stand. I took the light out of box today and it feels darn heavy like atleast 30lbs if not more . Anyone knows the exact weight bc I don't hve a weighing scale to figure
