Any ATI light fixture users out there

[Maho.B]

Hello. I'm looking at getting ATI fixtures for my new set up. I'm looking at either the Straton Flex gen2 or the Straton X. Either way I believe I will need two fixtures. Tank dims are 48" x 36" x 19"

Anybody running either of these?

Ive heard the control is sub par for how much they cost. That being said, Ive used their hybrid powermodule fixture and it was of industrial quality.

Thanks. The site says they are controlled with their app, but no idea how that works yet. Thanks.

I have two X’s over those dimensions EXT 150. You’ll be better off with the flexes. Having the X centered creates shading on the coral facing the front of the tank if they are tall. I think the front flex would address that because more LEDs would be closer to the front pane. There is very little shading with the X otherwise and wouldn’t be an issue on 24” deep tanks.
Have you read the X thread by chance?

No problem, I just edited my response to clarify.

I have the flex. The app is okay, I find it easy to use, not overly complicated as some apps are. Once I dial it in I don’t mess with it. I comes with pre installed lighting programs. Or you can create your own light profile.

3 Straton x lights. I haven’t found any better. If you needs 600 par 2 feet under then these will do it.
