ATI Straton Experience

[Sold4JC]

Does anyone have any experience with the ATI Straton? I've been tossing around giving them a try on my 60-gallon 36"x24"x16. I was thinking of starting with one but eventually doing two over the tank. Please let me know if you know anyone with any for sale.

You’ll need 2. Par Is surprisingly low

Depending on what/how you place things, you can definitely find cheaper alternatives. Ati isn’t what you think

The Uno 2 Pro was my other choice. I may end up with two Uno 2 Pros and call it good. I want to clean up my lighting. I'm running 3 Gen 4 XR15, 1 AI Prime HD, and 2 36" Quanta Meso blue bars. I'm struggling to get higher par on the edge of the tank. The acros on the edge struggle to keep color and grow.

I like how similar the spectrum and spread of the Straton are to ATI T5s.

I think the Uno's with Quantas would be a great combo. The great thing about the Uno's is the flexibility of swapping out lenses to get more spread. Plus, the Uno's beat out XR30's and are half the price, to me it's a no-brainer. If I ever went full LED on a larger tank, it would be a combo of Quantas, Uno's and a couple Kessil's for shimmer.

I pulled the trigger on two Reefi Uno 2 Pros. I plan on running a total of 3 for the best coverage, but I'm confident the two will be an improvement over my current lighting, and provide flexibility for the future. Thanks for the input.

Nice! Daniel is a super cool guy and will help you out. If you haven't joined the Reef Beef discord, I would join, because he's on there and you can chat with him directly. Plus, Reef Beef discord is an awesome group of dedicated reefers.
