ATI + Hydra 52 hd

AB_Reefer · Oct 3, 2017

I started my 120 reef with 2xhydra 52hd.. 6 months back I decided to change to T5 as I wasn't getting a decent coverage with just 2 Hydra so I got an ATI 8 x 54w fixture..
Now I love the coverage of T5 and all but I feel T5 are not as pleasing to the eyes as LEDs. So I have been pondering on the idea of adding my 2 hydra 52 inside my ATI fixture.. but have no clue on how to do this without damaging 1 or 2 of my light fixtures..
I saw some tanks with similar modified fixtures so was hoping someone who has done this or knows how to go about it to guide me.
I am a total knob when it comes to DIY projects but I really want to pull this one off..
any inputs or guidance will be highly appreciated.

A FTS..

What is your goal in adding AI to the ATI? It appears you already have a Reef Brite, are you looking for even more blue? Perhaps you should sell your 52's, Reef Brite, Sunpower and get an LED Powermodule.

The Reefbrite is not giving me the pop or shimmer i was expecting or used to when I had only Hydras on the tank.
Once the T5 are on you can't even make out if the reefbrite is on or off.
I now realize that I should have just bought a powermodule to begin with as that would have been the best option for me.. However there are no ATI retailers in the country I live so for now I can't let go of my sunpower and a mod is the only option I have for time being.
