ATI-NA should be able to order them in. My two fixtures should be sometime mid-January.

How are those corals looking?

Still growing and basing out-

Anyone found a way to make these go up and down safely over a tank?

I’ve been tinkering with the idea of a lift as it sure looks like it’ll be super annoying to have the entire tank surface covered.

I have not yet put together anything that I want to hang over my tank... 3 of them 18” out from the wall is a LOT of moment

for those of you who mounted them from ceiling how much does it affect your access?

On a 30" wide tank I haven't had any trouble with access. Narrower like maybe 24" tanks I can see having issues, but I can't speak to that for sure.

It’s not bad now, as I only have 1. I just push it to one side or the other on the t track, but when I get another it will be an issue. I was thinking about something like putting a piece of pipe through both cables when cleaning to raise it like 6 more inches

Looks like this type of mount would work for supporting the Straton also. Does anyone know what brand that is?

Yeah, those are Kessil A mounts. They’re pretty great as they hide cords.

I don’t know if I want to put that much torque on the back glass though

Yeah, I was kind of thinking something like that too. maybe even some small Velcro on the backside to stick them to the wall for a few minutes.

I guess the money would be to have put actuators in the ceiling, but that would have required a crystal ball

Looking good. Thanks for the pics.

The Stratons are heavy, like 10x of a kessil a360x. I would not consider neck mounting them, it would be a ton of torque on the glass.

Updated my post.. looks like about the same weight as the hybrid/Kessil pictured above..
Tank glass looks a but thicker than some though. Hard to tell..

I hear you though.. Those kind of mounts always worry me regardless of light/tank BUT that's just me.

More my style..though not very err pretty.

Aquarium Light Suspension System / Hanging Kit NEW | eBay

The system attaches to the glass walls of your tank and can be easily adjusted to house smaller lighting units. Due to the way the vertical bars are held in place these systems can be used with corner tanks also.

They are in stock at premium aquatics

My 3 have arrived, as well as the rental PAR meter. Phew. Got the hardware installed yesterday. Looks slick as snot. Lovely.

Has anyone had any luck assigning a fixed IP to these? I’d rather not play a guessing game with them once they’re on my network...

I had to in my router, I just named them straton1 through straton4. I login to them using http://straton1/login

 

[Kyl]

Do so via your router is the best method. Assign their MAC addresses to static IP's / host names.

here is mine with the lights

What’s the dimensions of this tank?

Day 2 sunrise.
Once the firmware was done they’re pretty straightforward. Gonna take a while to get used to seeing the light panels. dang does the tank look good though!

Par meter said about 60% power on SPS Plakativ = the previous 5 kessil 360WEs. Starting there and will ramp up slowly.

love the quiet. Love the elegance. Love the lack of BS wires. Extra love the distribution. No more dark corners!

@Hydrored, thanks for the am/pm blue pop setting. Using that for ends of the bell curve. Most of the day is Flourescent, then SPS Plakativ for mid-day 3 hours
