Why all the AI's for sale?

[mark]

so I'm getting nothing specifically wrong with the AI Sols, other than maybe aesthetics re:SPS

No nothing at all wrong with them. Growth is great and color is good.

Unfortunately it seems lately any thread started with leds in the title attracts all the people with no experience with them to feel the need to tell everyone what's wrong with all LEDs.

Haha my thoughts exactly. Well put. I like my Sols. Big learning curve and would buy them again.

Agreed. While I tend to go on about missing my MH, these are great alternatives and I would buy them again.

I'm coming around.....seems the shimmer is there with my pendants.... but hanging them over coke cans in a cardboard tank takes away from the experience.

anyone locally have pics of kessil a350 (its the adjustble one...tuna i think) and orpkek dif-100 (growing on me more and more....but i'd need three i think....well maybe two and the kessil....maybe a smaller one. Will allow me to do the spotlighting effect i want....Heard back from my japanese friend i'd need a lot of money to get the MH spotlights i was hoping for....

I've seen the Kessils on a tank and think they're a nice light, but not really giving a spotlight effect.

No I know, the Orpheks do...depending on how you place them...you need a wide tank....they don't spotlight like the MH spots for sure...but I may be able to achieve what I want...the Orphek covers 36 inches if its 12 inches off the tank...give or take....but lowering it

I've seen a few pic's where they are put in between other led fixtures....there is defn a spotlight effect to varying degrees going on...but it was a 4 foot wide tank...possibly greater...I'm playing with ideas right now....might need a MH spotlight after all...been awhile might be able to find them in Can or US now i suppose

We Shall see I guess....was looking online at the new Orphek Atlantiks....$940 canadian....seems interesting but not really what i am looking for.

I own 7 black SOLs, the reason I'm selling one if that I had one over my breeder tanks and I think that's a bit of an over kill for that. So I decided to part with that one only. I have 6 SOLs fixtures over my 240g and they're doing an excellent job at growing corals (mixed reef) and I would not give them up. I'd think about it maybe in a couple of years or so but for now they're great!!

No, not even that. They're fine. If you stood in front of my tank, you'd agree they do a decent job with SPS.
