The NEW ATI Straton Reef LED Review!

[@tsurro8086]

Tank looks good, luv the rock scape, 350 -550 in my opinion would be better for acros, but each to their own!

[@bpseal]

T Surro you’re probably right brother! But nervous to fry them immediately after getting light. You ain’t wrong!

[@danadeasy8279]

You did an outstanding job on this video - lots of good info. Could you share the dimensions on your tank? And how did you find the programming/setup?

[@bpseal]

Appreciate it Dana. Dimensions of the tank are 48x30x26 for about 155 total. Programming was trial and error. I’m going to be doing a programming video here shortly on the basics. It’s not too bad once you learn how to do it.

[@ReefingwithO]

The light looks good, very sleek - a lot whiter than I think most people would use

[@bpseal]

Reefing with O. You can definitely blue it up. It has tons of blue and violet channels. It looks bluer in person without a filter.

[@jaron4750]

Hey mate. The tank is looking great! I'm thinking of getting this light, however I'm a bit worried about the shimmer. From the video it looks a little staticky, is it like that in person? Also, Is the shimmer more or less pronounced in the video compared to what you see. Cheers!

[@bpseal]

Completely justified concern. It’s no kessil that’s for sure. It’s a diffused shimmer at best. Not as harsh as radions which is fine by me. Staticky? I wouldn’t say that in person. Just a muted shimmer between the Kessils and Radions.

[@jaron4750]

@@bpseal Awesome, thanks for the help!

[@bopeep7806]

How far off water are the lights please ??

[@adnailsupply]

Do these lights have very minimal shimmer? I cant handle shimmer

[@tomg5405]

Can not make more paar?

[@bopeep7806]

Can you control the ati stratton on your mobile via an app

[@chancewilliams3610]

I love the color temp on those lights. Everything looks amazing!

[@cristianoramon3465]

you probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few days :)

[@torinhuxley7535]

@Cristiano Ramon Yea, been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)

[@andycx2]

What type of rock is that? Look ace!

[@bpseal]

Honestly I don’t know if it has a name but it’s basically dead Pavona branches

[@chponker]

Is it ceramic rock decoration in the tank? Looks outstanding! What's the brand name?

[@bpseal]

No, it's actually dead acropora. I forgot the name of the type of rock but no longer exists in the marketplace.

[@Reefahholic]

Nice review! What size is that tank? LxWxH??

[@bpseal]

Thanks! It’s a Planet Aquariums 155. 48x30deepx26high.

[@gino.from.chicago]

You think you could get away with just one over your tank size? I like my ends to be shaded so the fish ain’t blasted with light all day. What’s each light spread? You might’ve said it in the video but don’t remember. Thanks! Awesome vid’s

[@bpseal]

Man… probably not? You “could” but I think your goals are different than mine. Good idea!

[@gino.from.chicago]

@@bpseal thanks probably should just buy the two and compare one against both then return the one if I think I’m getting too much light. Anyways would like to see an update if you get time - one of your videos you mentioned a newborn in the way. Congrats btw

[@TrevorHiller]

Love your rock scape, what kind of rock is this you used? Very different than the other dry rocks I've seen out there.

[@bpseal]

Hey Trevor, honestly I forgot the name of it. It's basically dead large coral branches. It's rare to find it these days as it's not sold anymore.

[@TrevorHiller]

@@bpseal makes sense. It’s really gorgeous. I ordered some Two Little Fishies Reborn (crushed coral rubble) for substrate in my next tank and this would have looked amazing with it. Shame the import of dead coral is banned.

[@Kamilo]

Hi, it looks very nice! Is there possibility to connect two lamps into "one configurable module"? I mean if you had to set the same settings to both of lamps, or you could set them as master/slave module?

[@bpseal]

Yes that is very possible! I have a video coming out that will describe how to do just that in an ATI Straton Programming video!

[@Kamilo]

@@bpseal That will be ncie. Now I have 10x54W from Pacific Sun, but looking for some LEDs :)

[@coralmonger6868]

The color looks insane on camera. Usually under Radions and a lot of other leds peoples videos come out all weird. How high above your water line are your lights?

[@bpseal]

They’re about 10 inches or so.

[@fletcherwright7042]

Hey can we get a update on the tank and ATI Straton?

[@bpseal]

Hey brother... sad times they are sold. However, new video coming out on my XR 15 Gen 5 Blues and par mapping. Stay tuned and thanks for inquiring.

[@cairnsreefer4658]

What was the reason to change from the AP9X to the straton ?

[@bpseal]

Just testing out new lights. Plus, I need a bit more spread to be honest with you.

[@adrianr514]

Is that one MP40 on the right and 2 MP10s on the left?

[@bpseal]

All 3 are mp40s sir.

[@robbrob100]

Any update on these lights

[@bpseal]

No sir, I demo'd them for a while and then went back to my T5/Kessil Combo. I did enjoy them however and they brought out great colors and seem to be encouraging growth.

saludos para una 40 criador cual usaria ATI Straton LED

[@bpseal]

Hey buddy sorry no habla espanol

[@hectorlmunoz6955]

@@bpseal greetings for a 40 bredder which one would you use.

[@bpseal]

Would just use one of these for 40 breeder

[@tribun2000]

Wich tank is this ?

[@bpseal]

This is a Planet Aquariums tank

[@stevoeight]

Any updates?

[@bpseal]

Man, I don't. Actually sold the lights, went to 4X radions and am now breaking it down to move into a new house with a built in tank.

@@bpseal what did you not like about the stratons to make you switch?
