ATI Powermodule Hybrid Club

I think he means additional set points...which, to my knowledge, isn't possible. I've gotten around it by moving some that were just sitting at zero at night to the daytime hours.
 
anyone have a recomendation for my 4x80w led powermodule?

i'm going to have a lot of sps but also a lot of lps. the 4 bulbs i have right now are:

FRONT:
Blue +
Purple+
LED LED LED LED
Coral +
Blue +

i'm not sure how long i should leave the bulbs on for nor do i know what i should do for the led. Should I do a moon cycle at all? how do i do proper sunrise sun set

I am getting ready to order this fixture and I would like to have a nice shimmer in the water during the day when all bulbs are on. And, I don't expect to run this fixture at 100% - at least not for awhile.

Also, I am moving from an ATI T5 only tank so I am thinking that I will start out with more T5 than LED in my mix and then gradually shift the opposite way - more LED than T5.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Let me try again on this. My fixture will arrive this week and I am not sure of the recommended way to balance my 4 T5 bulbs and the LED clusters. For example, I could use all blue T5 bulbs and get my white from the LEDs. Or, I could do the opposite or something in between. So what have others found to be the best approach on this?

Thanks!

Thanks. And then how do you run your LEDs? Is everything at 100% or do you have some other mix of colors? I am thinking that if I start out with everything at 100% it will be too much light for my corals. Thanks.

I run the leds at 80% and my tank is 30" front to back with just a 4bulb fixture. I'll run them blue in the morning then for two hours while the t5s are on. Then I run them as coral plus until thy go out and for an hour as just coral plus transitioning back to royal blue. If I can get a pic of my diagram I'll show you

I'm using 5 blue plus, two purple plus and a coral plus. I've found with that combo I can use the LEDs to adjust the overall look anywhere from 10k to 20k+.
