Merry Christmas to us! We purchased the ATI Powermodule (8 bulb) for our 60 gallon cube. Unfortunately, we didnt realize that the software is only compatible with Windows and we only have a Mac. I am now banging my head trying to figure out the best manual settings. Anyone have experience with these and can provide some help or a screen shot of your current ATI settings?

Bulb line up
1 Actinic
2 Purple
3 Blue Plus
4 Coral
5 Coral
6 Blue Aqua
7 Purple
8 Actinic

I know this is a lot of light for my tank, so I am thinking I should only be running them at about half capacity at the max.

Thanks in advance.
 
lol after what I paid for these lights, I have to go buy a new laptop to control them?! theres no app or other way to control them via mac?
 
:frusty:

can anyone provide a screenshot of what the factory settings should look like? I dont think I am solving the windows problem this week with christmas, hopefully I can get it set up manually as soon as possible
 
I still have the file for the Powermodule settings I had loaded but without a PC that won't do you much good. I can either stop by with my laptop and load configurations for you or you can send a message to Sahin, he's a powermodule nut who knows his lighting. He's not on our forums.

If you end up running "at half capacity" just be sure to look up the proper break in procedure for the bulbs.

I think these were posted about a year ago by marinedepot, but didn't find the post. Maybe someone who's not at work on there phone could help find it. Lol
 
if this is anything like the dimmable ATI fixtures, the recommended break-in period for the T5 lamps is 50 hrs at 100% to insure the proper life cycle of the lamp....after break-in period you can dim lamps as desired

you can install Windows for Mac on your computer and this should will allow you run the ATI software
