Yup sorry, didn't realize I posted the plastic ones. I used the ones Orcus Varuna posted.

Hi guys and girls,
after some problems for the first 2 years with a hybrid, ATI Germany sorted me out with a new (UV led but not wireless) unit that has now been running for over 6 months without problems.
having found that my pelmit was actually dropping MDF into my tank () I finally suspended the light and within a week my nutrients dropped to almost nothing (my tank was more alcoholic than me and yet nitrates >50ppm for 18 months plus)
The tank seems to be starting to look hugely different apart from red slime still persist but things are slow to improve in reef tank.
What is your lighting period and intensity that produce great growth and colour?
Any replies or links would be fantastic!
Regards
Mart

[QUOTE=Keith@ ATI NA;25438202]Only if it has a problem. Most will keep time, however if yours does not hooking it to your local network is an easy way to fix it.


The last four days in a row I have come home to a dark tank. As soon as I connect to it it seems to work. This is very frustrating. I already had a problem with a ballast when I received this now this. This is the latest version power module (black color). What do I have to do to get this to work consistently? How do I know if this is keeping time and how do I hook it up to a local network?

Keith my schedule typically runs until 9pm est and all of a sudden my room got bright, I like over and my tank was on mid day brightness again. I synced to the light and it immediately reverted back to the programmed schedule time. I didn’t have any power disruptions either it’s like the light just lost track of time. Does this signify I could have a hardware issue? I’d be really bummed if I do because it was a factory 2nd and I literally just passed my 90 day warranty.

I responded to both of your requests, please check your junk folder.

Unfortunately I do not have an ETA.

Procedure doc is already available and it is not so complex to be applied. Of course the best will be to have it managed by plafo sw as for AI.

It is not terribly complex if you know about routers and how to find IP addresses of devices attached to your router.. Most people do not.

I agree! But it is a German product so is very well done but as most of technical German product poor in documentation and not “user friendly” in features. This “axiom” is almost very well known in EU. .....is the same as you use windows or Linux as OS .... you should kwon that Linux is very solid but very complex.

Hi,

I have always been a halide with vho kind of guy. But with my new build of only acro tank , wanna go with a powermodule .Questions for you guys before I drop 2K on it :-

1. Will a 8x54watts powermodule cover a 48 x 36 inch footprint area or is it better to try an get 2 powermodule of 6x54 watts ?

2. How strong are the led pucks when all T5s are on ? Do I still get any shimmer from them ?

Regards,
Abhishek

I understand but I do the support which means I will be responsible for helping people do this and if they are not somewhat knowledgeable on the subject it will be a nightmare.

A single 8 bulb unit will cover 36 no problem. My tank is 29" and it would easily go well beyond what its covering now. They have so much power you can easily raise it an inch or two if you wanted acropora in the front. Mine is also 29" tall and I can grow acro in the sand.

There is still shimmer, but not like an LED lit tank it is very subtle.

[robb1977]

I have a 48x24 tank. Just wondering whether to get the 39w or 54w and whether 6 or 8 tubes.
What do you guys recommend?

I would certainly recommend the 54w on a 48" tank. Not only does it look better (IMO) but it will ensure the most uniform intensity throughout the tank. Either the 6 or 8 bulb would be fine, just depends on what kind of coral you wish to grow and where you want to put them.

[Jay Ellul]

I agree. Always cover a much as the tank as possible

Right, I bought the 6x54w hybrid. I’ve got 3 blue plus, a blue special, a coral plus and a purple plus.
Has anyone got any advice on tube order and what to set the LEDS to please. I’ve tried using the web browser but it’s quite complex

Is there a link to this document/guide you can pm me? I’m not a networking wiz but would like to give it a whirl as my frequent brownouts mess with the internal clock. Support says it is nothing that is wrong with my hardware and will be addressed in a future firmware update, but if there is a workaround now I’d like to try to do it.

Not a problem however I would like to do it in a private email not on here. Keep in mind it is in German so unless you speak German some translate.google.com will be required.

I did it! And it actually was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, only took me about 15min. But I completely understand not posting this wide for all users as it’s definitely not a average owner workaround. Hopefully they release an easy connect feature similar to the setup wizard AI lights use. Regardless I greatly appreciate the help, thank you.
