I think this is part IV? I thought I'd give everyone a quick update on Paul's tank. After a lot of thought, he decided to change from the five Aquaillumination Vegas to an ATI power module which is a combination of T5 fluorescents and LED's.

Hi Than, how far did he had the T5 fixture from the top of his tank?

muffemod - 6 years ago

People got bit by the new tech when they realized how led lights disco balled around and now they got sacked.

Please let us know what is going on with the tank.
Any updates?
What bulbs are you guys using and what changes you had to do?
Are you using the True Actinic ATI bulb? How many?
Please tell us the combination of T5 bulbs and your observations.
Thanks!!!

great video but drink some water before so you avoid annoying smacking noise while talking.

Joel B - 8 years ago

Do you have a review of how this light has performed since it was added? I am really interested in knowing how the corals reacted and what the quality of the unit has been.

1mightymre - 8 years ago

where is the update i have been patiently waiting and still nothing

basonder14 - 8 years ago

I took the 1, 2 and 3 video of Paul's tank as an inspiration for my own tank. Oke, i used an steel frame and Orphek led's but changed yesterday to ati hybrid! Funny to see this video today, haven't seen this one earlier! Are there any updates about the tank since Paul is running the Ati, how die the tank respons to the orther lighting?

Dmitry Tumanov - 9 years ago

Superb video, really a big fan of your series.
When are we going to see an update? I'd love to find out how the corals are doing under the fixture.
Also, if Paul ever wants an AquaticLog Pro account - just let me know.

Dee From Brooklyn - 9 years ago

Sounds funny to an old t5 guy like me. I'm still holding onto my t5s because of cost in covering a 6ft tank will good intensity and coverage. Had This system improved since then?

JM DF - 9 years ago

Mr Tusk would find himself in a pan of hot oil :).

Beautiful tank.

I've been looking into and saving for an ATI PM 48" 8 bulb. I've been on the fence but your review and description of the 60" secured my thoughts of buying. Your videos are awesome Than keep up the good work!

thatReefGuy - 9 years ago

Thanks for the Videos Than.

I watch all of them Including the Ones on your other YouTube Channel (Tidal Gardens).

Can't wait for an Update on the T5 Videos (Much Much better Choice for SPS than LED for sure).

Cycnoches2012 - 10 years ago

at the end i did not notice Mr. tusk

Michael Elmore - 10 years ago

Dear lord, that light fixture is something amazing!

Leon Scholtz - 10 years ago

Love the size & shape of the tank. What is the spec?

JDReef - 10 years ago

Great update! Bit surprised to see this tank changing to T5's tbh after all the hype of LEDs. There is no doubt in my mind that the new fixture will give awesome results, however I think after the initial cost of the LEDs I would of stuck with them.

Look forward to seeing the difference the t5's make as I'm still a fan of t5's and halides myself.

Diogo Lovato - 10 years ago

500 PAR at the bottom??? OMG!!! You can cover the whole tank with SPS with all this light! The only problem is the eletricity bill...

James Madden - 10 years ago

Definitely a beast of a light fixture. You can't beat the single power cord!

Emakulate Gamez - 10 years ago

So nice

A_ Vasquez_ lift_laugh_love_n_bbq - 10 years ago

Awwsome video update. Dont know what to say about the led light cause I don't have AI's But I do have 6 t5's 5th each from giesmen on a tek lighting system and I have no complaints to say yet. Hope it all works out! It all looks great, those t5's look aaamazing.

I am running Vegas' as well and my coral have been doing great. My only complaint would be that they don't have the spread but my corals that are not directly under them are growing nicely

Rico Suave - 10 years ago

Wtfff 1000par that's crazy

Brian's Fish Tanks - 10 years ago

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

915Mang - 10 years ago

Nice update, to bad about the AI SOL. Thats what im running on my tank, Im still trying to get them at the right height

Reefz Tk - 10 years ago

can you do a video on how you capture such stunning video. over all amazing work as usual

ReeferGil - 10 years ago

Took me months of fiddling with my Vegas' height and brightness. They've been dialed in for a year and couldn't be happier with the results. Hope the T5s work out.

BayAreaAquatics - 10 years ago

Do you plan on removing the tusk? I know its a daunting task but a floor full of zoas would be so worth it.
