Having a little growth spurt and colors are looking better I'm amping up the intensity really slow and thats when I will start playing around with the blue colors. I have 4 of them over a 144G.

holy sH*t you must have like $1200+++ just for lights!

With hanging kit and rails add another $800 on to that. They are actualy one of the cheapest "good" LED fixtures out there right now.

Hmmmm...you running them at 100% or is there some kind of setting that i'm not seeing on the controller?

I am in the ai club. Just paid for 3 and waiting impatiently for there arrival. I am trying them on a 300 gallon dd with 3x250 4x80 t5ho in the rear and ais in front and if I like it I will have to purchase 3-6 more. 399 is the going price for them plus 12 percent hst unless you get it from the states. My main concern is to make sure it can grow sps and have them retain good coloration but I guess only time will tell. If not, it will be back to the sauna with the 400w mh lights again.

got an AI Sol over a year ago had to wait for it a while as they said it had to be made as they were backed up with orders.its been a great unit.great coral growth and looks great.controller has been glitchy once in a while usually after a power outage it would have to be re programmed and some times unplugged and plugged back in.i found one time it wouldn't turn on and all settings were good.for some reason when i adjusted the intensity it started working again. outher than that its been great.

I think its more to do when Im home at my tank, Up to 80% now. But then again I just checked and the fans are running. RB at 8% and B at 5% with no W at the moment. No setting either, just how my module has been.
