Programming your ATI Powermodule - Please share your setup

Please share your lighting program. Asking for a full 24/7 lighting Program on ATI Powermodule. Also looking for info on integrating with GHL Profilux 4.

Here is mine.

There are two T5 channels. Channel One has two ATI Blue Plus bulbs and two ATI Purple Plus bulbs. Channel two has two ATI Blue Plus bulbs and two ATI Coral Plus bulbs. Each channel has a 0%-255% setting per 10 time slots.

There are 4 LED channels that consist of percentages for R, RB, B, and W. I decided to simplify the chart and split up the colors instead of actual channels.

There are 10 time slots per channel. Any repeated number in the table counts as 1 time slot. Each channel I set for 10 time slots.

Update 3/4/17 - For the first week+ when corals were introduced I attempted to run the default schedule. However, the results weren't good. The worse damage came to my Montipora collection. I'm hoping they will come back. looks like a brown out and not a complete bleaching. A couple of my Acanthastrea were hurt too, but are making a recovery.

I want to share my current settings. I feel this is a "reef" friendly beginning point. Its the T5's power we need to watch out for.

T5 Channel 1 - (Bulbs front to back) Blue plus, Purple plus, Purple plus, Blue plus. These peak at 14% and run "sunrise to sunset".
LEDs - I am only using Royal Blue and White at this time. Plan to work Red and Blue in gradually. All 4 LED maps overlap and run sunrise to moonlight/blackout.

I'll play with a pic only

You know, ive plugged it in but due to old windows version im having problems. Hahaha! So ive got pretty good at using the manual controls. I think its a valuable thing to know. And would like to know more. I know there are lots of hidden button combinations but not sure what will do what. Ive accidentally changed the clock set speed to "wicked rapid", and cant get it to go back now. :mad:

Were you able to read my PDF on the cloud? Does it make sense, and can you help me with how its set up?

And do you know if there is ATI compatibility with the P4 lighting software?

That's a good question for @ATI North America

I bought a new laptop. Was able to connect to the light and tweaked the program a couple days ago. This morning i went on my laptop to fix somethings and it will not connect to the light. Plugged in just the same as before.

I wanted to run just LED's for a few days. I put both t5 channels on 0 for all the time setting. Have the LED's shut off completely at 10:00pm. After doing this the light and computer arent communicating. Its been very frustrating to say the least.

When I get home today im dumping this 2015 beta version 1.331, and going to try the prior version 1.330. Why is the beta version 2 years old?

 

[stevo01]

UPDATE - Beta version is made for windows10. This is the version that must be used if your running windows10. I deleted the program and reinstalled it. I think I lost a driver when windows updated and I deleted the older version. Program is running and no problem connecting or making changes to it now.

This light is wicked powerful! The default program was just too much for my corals. I'm running a new program that is much more gentle and maybe after they get used to this I can raise the lights more.

I'm currently getting great PE on this setting. For flow I'm using 2 mp40's on medium "reef crest", overflow refugium, and a DTC 6000 return pump.

T5 Channel 1 - 2 Blue Plus/2 Purple Plus I'm just running this channel for now with slow ramps peaking at 20%. very minld here.
LED Channels 1-4 - These are all exact overlays. I have royal blue ramping into royal blue, blue, and white. Then back to just royal blue on the ramp down. I removed the red from all the led channels for now. Lets see where this takes us. Pictures coming up off my S7 phone.

Other things to note. Going on 2 weeks on the coral transfer. May have killed my monti's from blasting them on the default program for the first few days. Toadstool was drawn up until I reduced the lighting. Green finger adjusts to high/low light better. Duncan, torches, acans, zoas are all looking much better. Acans were slightly damaged by the high light. Mushrooms need to be adjusted lower in tank.

Tanks also been dosed with 2400 MG of fluconazole. The pagoda was buried in bryopsis and lost for quite some time. It's amazing it's survived. Looks rough but confident it will fully recover. Torches are looking way better now that they are away from the peppermint shrimp.

These picture are before the white leds have come on.

They said it’s only with windows, I tried to download the virtual box but I am not a tech savvy and end up with no luck, so frustrating. Now saving to buy a PC to be able to program my lights [emoji30]
