ATI powermodule over nems

[jwilliams860]

Anybody on here currently running an ATI powermodule over their anemones and if so what kind of nem is it amd are you happy with that light over them ?

I currently have 4 250w MH over my tank, seriously thinking about switching to t5 powermodule fixtures. They would be 10 bulb versions.

I have H.Mag, BTA's, S.Gig, LTA

ATI 8x80w with green BTA. Right now my 1 year old BTA's are having issues and hiding. Don't know if it's flow or lighting. ATI's great for SPS though

How long have you had the light over the anemone

I don't have any anemones but I run a 4x54 watt on my 48" x 18" x 24" tall tank. It isn't hard to burn SPS with it and unless you have a 36" plus wide tank or a very deep tank I think the 10 bulb unit would be too much.

I don't have the ATI powermodule, but I have the Sunlight Supply 6x39w Tek lights on my tank. 36x18x22deep I have a BTA which likes to sit lower-mid tank on my Maxima clam's shell, and I have a healing Sebae higher-mid range in the tank on a rock darkening up nicely and growing in size.

The ATI Powermodule will give you better par readings, but if your tank is only 18 inches wide, then a 6 bulb unit should be plenty of light. I grow sps in my tank too and they all seem happy.

I have the 8 bulb 4ft powermodule over my tech 120 and love it. Best fixture I ever owned.


I have a lta and a haddoni and its hanging about 6-8 inches over the top of the tank. I can measure to double check the height later tonight.

My Haddoni has never looked better but whether that is because of the light difference between this tank and its old home I really couldnt say. My old fixture was a 8 bulb 39w retrofit from sunlight supply over a 70g oceanic.

no my tank is 8ft long, 30" front to back, not alot of SPS so not to worried about that, after some research the 10 bulb will give me better spread vs the 8 bulb
