Thanks. One day, I'll have some frags available. My frag tank went south, so I need to start it over...

Have you tried supplementing with radiums?

Thought about it, but figured they might bleach my corals...

Word on the street is that you will be able to order custom pucks with the vega colours for the sol fixture in the coming months. so i wouldn't feel too left out

not really something I would be interested in, pretty happy with the color of these.

Thought I'd post a weekly update. Chris was right, you tend to forget how good it was and enjoy what you have. Overall, pretty happy with the setup.

After the 2+ weeks without MH, the corals, for the most part have not lost any color. Some colors don't show as well, but that's life I guess. I ramped the white up to 80% and will probably keep it there, seems bright enough to keep the colors, and still allows a lot of room for tuning the blues.
No heat to speak of, tank temp doesn't go up at all from lights, even though they're enclosed in a canopy (which I may change).
They use about 1/3rd of the power my MH did, so happy in that department too.
The color separation thing only really gets emphasized directly under the center where the crest of my wave forms, the other areas of the tank are fine, so unless you have a really turbulent surface, you may not notice this effect as much.
No views on growth yet, but I'll update that in a few more weeks.

Overall, good move to the LEDs
