AI Sol Review

[sphelps]

Aaahh don't show my wife, if she sees those angels in a reef tank I'm screwed!

Looking good btw, obviously coverage isn't an issue anymore. So I know you said the pic washed out the color but do you find color in general more washed out with the LEDs compared to your halides?

The angels are my favorites, especially since they haven't eaten my clam!

No, the colors are good, not washed out at all, just don't have the pop they used to.

Although this is a AI Sol review, is there any reason why you didn't want to wait for the release of the AI Vega? This light is supposely the latest greates in LED that AI has to offer and is closely price to the SOL.

The Vega is to be released anytime now. I've heard this for 6 months Price is about another 100 bucks, times 6 plus taxes, made it out of my price range. I also saw the disco promo video and thought that was the dumbest thing ever, and completely swayed me into not waiting.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my choice of unit, most of my issues are LED generic, so the Vega wouldn't have resolved most of them.

I'm not sure you'd have any issues setting up a new system, really nothing to compare it to. For me, removing the MH and adding the LED I could immediately see the difference.
The elos looks like a nice unit, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

I added a 4' fiji purple T5 to see if it would fill in some of what's missing. It hasn't really, might need a bigger one.
