ATI Powermodule Hybrid Club

How do I get the LED colors to match those of the ReefBrite blue LEDs? IMO the ReefBrite's have the best LED blue color in the market.

I presume Reefbrite is using 450nm Royal Blues? I know from what ATI told me the LED PM uses 450nm diodes. At least with the new clusters that use the Philips Luxeon M quad chips the typical wavelength is 450nm.

What does the Reefbrite appear in comparison to the Royal Blue on the LED PM?

Is it more purple in appearance? I emailed Reefbrite asking about it before bu they never replied to me.

ReefBrite's appear more royal blue than blue I think.
 
Burn them in at least 40 hours before you start dimming.

I apologize Sahin with all the question that I have.

I want to run my B and RB Led's for 2 hours in the morning before anything else comes on. I want to finish out the evening the same way for 2 hours. Exactly as the numbers you gave me for the LED's can you help me with the schedule please. My schedule starts at 10am and ends at 10pm.
 
This is how I have it...

Option 1 LED
r0 rb255 b100 w0

Option 2 LED
r10 rb255 b100 w120

10:00 000 custom 1
11:00 127 custom 1
12:00 127 custom 2
18:00 127 custom 2
19:00 000 custom 2
20:00 127 custom 1
22:00 000 custom 1
22:30 000 custom 1
23:00 000 custom 1
23:30 000 custom 1

I'm sure there is plenty wrong with my timing, lol.

No problem buddy. If I am busy I cant answer daily, otherwise I will.

Send me a PM with your email address, number and combo of T5 tubes, and number of clusters and how you would like the lighting times etc and I will email back a custom light profile.
 
What is the ideal hanging height for the lamp? I have a 27" deep tank. I currently have it 11" above water line.

Also, when adding new corals do I need to dim the T5s for a few days and then raise them up or just decrease photoperiod? If so what do I dim them to?

I believe ATI recommendation is a minimum of 8" above the tank. Have you already burned in your bulbs?

Thank you so much Sahin! Sending PM now.
 
Yes light been up and running 7 weeks.

This would be a question better answered by the more experienced T5 users. I have mine 12" above water and while having to bulb burn in limited my T5 usage to 4 hours per day and have seen no ill effects from the corals. I previously used Kessils.
 
Please Help!!!
I was upgrading the firmware of my fixture and it got stucked on 1% for ten minutes or so, then I pressed cancel...now the controller does not respond, I shut it off and no digits appear in the screen. I can't connect it with the usb cable either. Can someone help me, please.
Thanks in advance
 
Well, now I can connect the fixture via USB but the lamp is only with 2 led clusters on and the controller screen keeps showing this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84193253/IMG_3997.MOV

I tried to press the 4 outer buttons at a time to reset it to factory setting but the only thing this does is lights all the tubes and leds and when I stop pressing it comes back to only two led clusters. I also tried the button combination that shows in youtube an nothing happens.
At some time the controller is able to communicate with the laptop via USB, but it doesn't load the firmware. It keeps forever al 0% with the loading bar.



Please, if you someone can give me some advice I will appreciate it very much.

Try disconnecting totally from power for at least 4 hours to reset.
 
I'm happy to say that the problem is solved!! :dance:
The issue was that I was using a Mac with Parallels (windows emulator) and it works to set the different programs in the fixture, but it doesn't to install and upgrade the firmware.

Once I ran the ATI Light studio in a Windows computer the system asked me to reset the controller pressing de 4 outer buttons and started loading the firmware.

I have to thank Pablo (Monti) and Tristan Rieger from Ati support in Germany for their advise and quick response.

Tristan told me to download and install the Ati hybrid firmware 1.03 from their website instead of 1.04 from Ati Northamerica. Is there any difference between one and the other?

All this started because I believed the 1.04 solved the problem about turning the clock at 00:00 when a power outage. Is this fixed in the new units? because I received mine two weeks ago and it keeps doing it. :headwally:



would be the only really just a reset of the power supply. they connect the usb cable via a hub to the computer?

The usb is connected directly to the computer

Thanks, but it has been disconnected all night from power and it didn't work.
 
For others that may see this thread, I was able to upgraded the firmware using Parallels with no problem.
