I'm running two Sol's on my 75gallon and am playing around with the idea of doing the SOL-> Hydra upgrade. My two concerns as far as the lamps go is whether the coverage is the same/better/worse than the Sol's and whether there is a bad disco effect. Also slightly concerning is the reports of the director disconnecting randomly and turning the lights on to 100%.
I'm running 4 Sols and 2 Hydras. I have never seen a disco effect with either fixture. I could'nt figure out what the disco effect was until I seen a Vega. There's a post on this site about it and it's quite noticeable. I do notice that when my lights ramp down the Hydras do seem brighter. But definetly no disco thing going on.
